| Road Test |
The compact 2008 Volvo S40 sedan, which is closely related to the V50 wagon, returns for the 2008 model year with some new features and a slightly revised appearance. The center console and door panels get more storage space and the audio system has been updated, while a new front-end appearance and taillamps impart the S40 with a more "grown-up" look, and turbocharged T5 models get a bump in power.
