Having been through several minor aesthetic tweaks last year, the S40 is back in 2009 without much change. Like the C30, it offers the optional R-Design package. The standard equipment package has also been augmented on each version. It is unfortunate that this automobile is not encountering the expected success, which could push the Göteberg automaker to halt its production. The S40 nonetheless remains a choice vehicle, different and very pleasant to drive.
