The figures, translated
Power comes from the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 31 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $17.85. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The S40 in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 368 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the S40
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Talk to a person
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
