    s40 is the smallest one and when its boosted can be quite quick, but the best nowadays is the s60 twin turbo. itll fly. an older 850R twin turbo is fun as well itll stick in the turns and when the turbos are wound out will stick you to your seat. we've had a bunch of volvos.

      My friend has a black 2005 S40. Not a bad car, pretty damn pracical. Not really slow per-say, but I think the base model engine isn't really strong enough for the wieght in my eyes. Also it's an automatic... bleh.

        My dad works for a volvo owned/contracted/whatever company in ohio, he has a s60 t5 as his company car, it is realy nice, got it loaded up with some nice 18'' wheels, and the sport package with a bit of a body kit and sport suspension, it is a great driving car

            A S40 is a Mazda3 underneath. Maybe that's why is a pretty decent car.

              Funny how no one brought up that the Volvo pictured is the expensive Evolve tuned version. You can't just buy one like that at your neighbourhood Volvo dealer.

                      I still like the stock S40's. There is begining to be a good aftermarket for them too, with Evolve and Heico.

                      Let's drive fast and have fun.

                            why does the car look so HUGE?! never noticed it before, but that picture makes it look like a prius/MKIV jetta cross with E60-ish headlights.
