The second-generation Volvo S40 is a compact saloon produced from 2003 to 2012 (model years 2004–2012), built on the Ford Global C-car platform and related to the Volvo V50 estate, C30 and C70 and the Mazda3 (BK).

Owning one
An estimate, for the 1.6 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
This S40 shares its platform with the Mazda3, so under the skin a Swedish saloon and a Japanese hatchback are siblings.
This S40’s "Mystery of Dalarö" ad campaign was first credited to a fictional filmmaker — it was later revealed to actually be directed by Spike Jonze.
Volvo wanted to call it the S4, but Audi already owned that name, so the badge reads S40 instead.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
