f you like to get the most bang for your buck, the 2009 Volvo S40 will impress you with its style, content and price. Long known for its emphasis on safety, Volvo carries on the tradition with side-impact and side-curtain airbags, the Whiplash Protection System and other safety features.
If you regularly need room for four adults, the S40’s cramped rear seat and moderate headroom are a negative. Power in the base car is far from exhilarating and all-wheel drive is available only with the pricier T5 R-Design, and neither car offers a manual transmission option.
