Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, seats and structure; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Rated at 9.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. A 300 km weekend costs about $45.12 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the S40
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
The S40 in everyday use
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 368 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the S40 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
