Recalls and complaints

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.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 34 litres. That works out to about $19.60 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Inside and out
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 368 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the S40 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S40 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Next step
