Selling my 2008 Volvo S40 2.4i which has been a dependable sedan. This NZ new car has the 2.4-litre non-turbo 5-cylinder petrol engine making 170bhp, paired with a 5-speed auto with tiptronic change, making it straightforward to drive around town or on longer trips.

The S40 a practical 5-seater with enough space for everyday use without being too large. It is based on the Ford Focus, Mazda 3 platform and handles remarkably well. The fuel economy has been reasonable for a car of this size, and it’s proven reliable. The car is in excellent condition and everything is in good working order.

Volvo’s solid build quality and focus on safety come through in the S40. It’s compact enough to be easy to park and manoeuvre, but still offers a comfortable ride. Whether it’s daily commuting or weekend errands, it handles it all well.

The rear seat backs fold down for flat storage from the spacious boot.
