First off if all goes well with my job, as it seems to be, I may be in the market for an '03 S40 next year. Couple of Q's, please give a your car a rating of 1-10, 10 being the best and an explaination if you feel like it! (eg. 1)=10! Truely amazing!) haha.<p>1)- <B> How well does the interior hold up? </B> Many cars are getting more plasticy and don't really look or feel good after a while, fit and finish seem bad. I know Volvo cars have better quality interiors than most imports (and domestics!), just want to know what you think, even if its a broken cup holder or creaking dash panel or a everything is perfect.<p>2)- <B>Ergonomics</B>, seats good on long trips? Instruments feel natural? I already know I hate the radio with a passion after one short spin but that isn't a concern - I'd give that thing about one week of life in my car! <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emwink.gif" BORDER="0"> In general everything is "good" feeling? Possibly ones size plays a role in this area, I'm 5'10.<p>3) - I would mention <B>Exterior</B>, but we all now what a handsome car this is! Not really necessary! However mention any grips or pleasure from this area <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/emthup.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>4) - <B>Engine</B>. Power delivery, reliability, anything important to you in this are. Likes or dislikes. <p>5)- Lastly, and <I>bear</I> with me, if the automotive world represented the <B>animal kindom</B>, what kind of animal would your S40/V40 be and why? (I hope I get some responses on that!)<p><br>Thanks all, I'm lookin for a car that will be with me for a long time as many of you have to, thanks for the help! Hopefully this will be beneficial to all that reads it! <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://********************/smile/embeer.gif" BORDER="0">
