The Preferred option package includes a sunroof,two-tone leather upholstery,power passenger seat,and other upgrades. The Climate package heats the front seats and adds automatic wipers and headlight washers. The Multimedia package upgrades the sound system and adds a navigation system. Many other options are available as stand-alones,including full leather upholstery,18-inch wheels,adaptive xenon headlights,keyless entry and ignition,and various safety features. Trunk capacity is 12.6 cubic feet,according to the maker.The 2011 Volvo S40?s base engine is a turbocharged,227-horsepower,2.5-liter,inline 5-cylinder engine that produces 236 lb.-ft. of torque and delivers 21 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway,according to the EPA. It works with a 5-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.The 2011 Volvo S40?s standard safety features include anti-lock disc brakes with electronic brake-force distribution,stability control,traction control,rollover protection,front side air bags,and side curtain air bags. A blind-spot warning system is optional.

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).
