Thinking of buying the 2002 Volvo S40?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Volvo S40 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars.

Before you sign for the S40

The figures, translated
Power: the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.
Rated at 10.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. That works out to about $18.72 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 368 litres, the trunk fits about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the S40 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the S40 tells you more than any review. Try the S40 on your commute, then decide.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.72 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
