2012 2.0L Automatic Premium Edition
Satisfaction: First of all, I bought a Volvo mid-size sedan for a little over 200,000 yuan. I think it is still a good deal. I also like the appearance of the S40 very much. It looks grand and business-like, like a car for the middle class. I also like some small designs on the car, such as the switch of the fuel cap. It is set next to the left hand without bending over, which is very convenient to use. The seat design is also very comfortable, and its leather is very easy to use and feels good to touch.
Dissatisfaction: After all, the price of this car is cheap, so there are many points worth complaining about. First, the interior structure of the car is too simple and lacks a sense of class. Second, the power is a bit sluggish when starting, and I feel that the 2.0 displacement is still a little insufficient for this car. Third, the fuel consumption of the car is also relatively high. Fourth, the car occasionally jerks when shifting up (second and third gears sometimes have this performance). Fifth, the overall comfort when riding in the car is average.
Space: Objectively speaking, the space of Volvo S40 is OK, which is good in this price range and brand. I won't talk about the front row, which is basically the same. There is no problem for three passengers to sit in the back row without feeling crowded.
Power: As I mentioned earlier about the power, it's a bit sluggish at the start. Maybe the 2.0 displacement needs some preparation to pull such a large body, but after the speed is increased, the performance is still good. It is definitely enough for commuting to work in the city.
Fuel Consumption: feel that the fuel consumption is a little high, and the table cannot be used as a reference. It's too bad! (I measured it myself and it was 11 liters) The current oil price is more than 6.8 yuan, and I spend about 1,000 yuan on fuel every month.
Appearance: I am very satisfied with the appearance of Volvo S40. I think this type of car will never go out of style. Whether it is the overall or the details, it is square where it should be square and round where it should be round. It looks very imposing.
Interior:
