Test drives Volvo S40 2004 - 2007 sedan
Volvo identification
It is said that a small company absorbed in a giant is hard to keep your face. Swedes succeed. Just look at the new Volvo S40. The beginning of the press conference. On the catwalk there is a car with a broken front. The most interesting places for viewing are neatly cut with a hacksaw and painted. Good evening. We gathered in order to present you a completely new Volvo S40. ...
The question of life
The most powerful version of the new Swedish sedan can be compared with an ambitious graduate of a prestigious university. It can be seen talented, but how it will live on, not the slightest performance. With a red diploma, everything around. A harmless fly can look a formidable individual. A ruthless predator with an innocent lamb. And how many masks people pull over themselves! Some want ...

Time machines
The bodybuilding Volvo S60 changed the image of a representative sedan pronounced sports features: a stylish anti -wing on the lid of the trunk, the front spoiler has more monumentality. It, like overhead thresholds, is now painted in the color of the body. There are three silver new options (Electric Silver), turquoise-blue (Orinoco Blue) and orange red (Maple Red). Early mirrors have gained ...
Classmates from the 4th "D"

We have chosen sedans with motors above two liters, with automatic boxes and a fairly wide range of options. Honda Accordhonda Accord, even sharp ...
Motor Long Test
Two months have passed since the beginning of the long Volvo S60 2.5T AWD test. After the run to the Black Sea coast, which was described in the last issue of the magazine, the car began gray city everyday life. If in the first month of operation the Swedish sedan passed a little more than 6,000 km, then for the second one did not even reach the mark of 4000. Thus ...
New mythology
Volvo practically dispelled the myth of the Volvo-Driver, which is calmly moving in the right lane on the universal suitcase with a hypertrophied trunk. This is a figure from the past. Here is a relevant picture: the volvo-drive river rushes in a low-planted all-wheel drive turquoise shell with a 300-horsepower turbo engine and, gleaming cold xenon, frees the left row from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Saab, ...
Quite sufficient
Regular updates and release of new modifications can extend the life of any machine. The whims and requests of the consumer vary, and the richer the proposal for a particular model, the more chance that he will opt for it. It seems that one of the modifications of the restyled Volvo S60, which appeared in Russia this summer, will have to ...
Volvo for the manager
The criteria for the choice to try on the car on yourself and select a model, say, for middle -level managers of your company - these, as they say in Odessa, are two big differences. Suppose I personally prefer a 260-horsepower car from the S60 gamut, or even the S60R with a herd of 300 horses under the hood. But from the point of view of the leader ...
About turbine and longevity
In any company there is at least one restless fan of German cars that does not recognize anything else. Such a character with a challenge asks: who else knows how to make real cars!? So that there is prestige, and comfort, and dynamics in general, all things. He is triumphantly confident that there will be no answer. Why won't it be? ...
