Firstly, to correct the person below a 2009 S40 comes with a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. Secondly, it might seem smart to some people to go to an independent shop to get your Volvo fixed. It seems they eventually get towed to my dealer after someone that is not familiar with a vehicle messes it up...

Look in that nice velvet gray wallet that the maintenance/service book/warranty is in.The Owners car manual or a separate radio handbook for your MP3 player should give information on how to operate it.

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.
