Volvo has done an amazing job redesigning their small S40 sedan. The new model has better lines, a snub nosed front end and is just plain sexier than past versions. Highway driving was solid and the S40 makes you feel very safe as it glides through traffic at high speeds. You won't notice anything missing when hovering around highway speeds. The front bucket seats are beyond comfortable. Safety is a serious concern of these guys and the S40 has a raft of active and passive safety features built in. Volvo's going to make a lot of friends with the cool all-new S40. This is a solid vehicle at a decent price point that should make the competition start looking at what they're offering and start thinking how they can catch up.
