Ok guys I'm new to the whole Volvo scene and I haven't even gotten my car yet. My question is:

The front grill on the 2005 Volvo S40, can the angled bar be removed without cutting? It's the bar that houses the volvo symbol.

I am getting ready to take ownership of 2005 S40 AWD T5 with 16 inch wheels -dealer is offering 17 inch wheel and tire replacements for[B] free ]- the website suggest that tires though high on performance willbe limited wear - I am in MI (SNOW) and drive about 18 - 20 K a year on car - am leaning toward keeping the 16's


Any input ......please

Going right now to investigate. I have read up on and drooled over the S40 T5 long enough. Now it is time to test drive!
I would like to special order one. How long does that typically take?

Test drove a bunch of cars, and then I drove the S40. Purchased one the next day after driving it. I had to make sure I wasn't acting too impulsively. My Barents Blue 6speed T5 AWD will arrive in December. No car in it's price range does so many things well. Everything I drove had some area that fell short of the Volvo. Pics will follow after delivery. ...

Hi all,

First post, because I could not find an answer in the search function... hopefully some of you will know. I just purchased a 2005 S40 (2.4i, automatic transmission, no other options/packages).

I don't fully trust the dealer with giving me a straight answer, hence the following questions:

1. I am told by the dealer that there is no cover to the...

Hello all! My name is Petur, and I live in Iceland. I have just become a Volvo owner for the first time, and decided to register here in the forums. I got my Volvo S40 1.8SE 2 weeks ago, and I am enjoying my car very much. Here is a link to my Cardomain web page, with some pics and info about my new Volvo:

I am looking at a new S40 with a 1.6 engine. Can anyone advise on the power of the car . The engine size isnt big and I am wondering if the car is sluggish or responsive ? Many thanks.

Hi all

I am from South Africa and we ordered a PASSION red s40 2.4i in October 2004. Today I tracked the ship ("Hual Tracer") and the ETA in Durban is on 27 January 2005 -- which means we'll get our new car within the next few weeks!! SO EXCITED. We ordered a wing spoiler and specified black leather interior - will post pictures as soon as it arrives!

The new S40 has come up with bettah security feauters with various crumple zones as well as rear and front impact protection. Another fing I lyke abt it is that de front seats can be folded too to make some space for longer stuff. N yeah it does achieve extra ordinary high speeds in minimal period of tyme default/' ...

This sounds odd, but my 2004.5 is about ready to run out of washer fluid. I love the smell of the OEM fluid, anyone know what type it is? I plan to call dealer too.

Hello Volvo-Forums,

I'm sure many of you will relate to what happened to me yesterday. In 1996, I purchased a dependable, utilitarian, no-frills Mazda 626 which served beautifully as the "knock-around", "get-me-from-Point-A-to-Point-B" transport. I bought this car with 4000 miles on it and was quite satisfied with its loyal service over the next 105,000...
