Specs, explained
It uses the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 11.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 34 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the S40

Practical details
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. EPA lists 368 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
A test week in the S40 tells you more than any review. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the S40 on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.60 in fuel.
