Why do I always get nauseous or dizzy when I get in a volvo?
I'm sure it's only with volvos because i can normally read in cars or watch movies, etc.. but every-time i get in a volvo (S40 and C70, if it helps) this happens.

All I can think is that either fumes are getting in the car or it's claustrophobic for you. I get motion sickness sitting in the backseat of cars. I'm fine if I can sit up front where I have a better view outside.

Should I buy a 2000 volvo s40?
I've read the review on consumer reports and they aren't so good. I have also read reviews from edmunds and they aren't too bad. Consumer reports has put this vehicle on the worst used cars to buy list. Can anyone who owns this car give me some advice? Thanks!!

I would go with not buying the volvo. I took a look at consumer reports and it is on the list of cars to avoid. I personally don't own the car myself, but there is a reason why consumer reports is out there. Good luck with your search!

Why should I also consider these? X

The Jetta may provide the most value in this class for those who are completely practically minded.

Its five-cylinder engine offers performance that’s very comparable to that of the standard 2.4i model, with similar equipment and a backseat that’s a bit roomier, at a price that’s close to $10,000 less.

That said, if safety features are the priority and you’re willing to pay extra for options, the S40 is unbeatable.

Another possibility is the Subaru Impreza; in its base 2.5i form, it’s a much more affordable alternative, with standard all-wheel drive and performance from its horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine similar to the base five in the Volvo.

And the Impreza WRX offers performance that rivals the T5, at a lower price.

The Saab 9-3 is another alternative, bringing good, sharp handling and decent performance, but its ride can be choppy and its interior isn’t especially roomy.

The Acura TSX, which includes the superior service of Acura dealerships, has especially nimble handling, a good ride, and impressive fuel efficiency, but its backseat is somewhat cramped.
