2007 Volvo S40 Review
An antiskid system is standard instead of optional on 2007 versions of Volvo's entry-level sedans. Volvo offers a wagon version of this car as the V50. Both share some elements of their basic design with the Mazda 3. S40s have a 5-cyl engine and come in 2.4i and sporty T5 trim. The 2.4i models have 168 hp and front-wheel drive. T5s are turbocharged, have 218 hp, and are front- or all-wheel drive. Manual or automatic transmission is available. ABS and traction/antiskid control are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags. AWD T5s include a firmer sport suspension that's available for other models. Keyless entry/starting is a new option for all models, which get a minor interior freshening for '07. Also available are a navigation system with pop-up dashboard screen, leather upholstery, heated seats, and sunroof.
