2008 Volvo S40 and V50 First Impressions

9 juillet 2007

par Nadine Filion , Auto123.com

Rear seat access could be made easier.

A few complaints...
One last word on a few elements that are always criticized. First, the rear door opening is not wide enough and the rear wheel arches are kind of obtrusive, which means you have to be an acrobat (I'm exaggerating just a bit) to access the rear bench. Also, said bench must be devoid of its headrests before folding the seatbacks forward, which can become tedious over the long haul. Volvo could have incorporated the V70's automatic folding system, but I guess we will have to wait until the next generation...
