Hi Liam,
Pros are that Volvos tend to be very well made and are generally a reliable car and that 1.8-litre engine is an old Ford unit that's well proven and dependable.
Cons are that for a car competing with the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4, the S40 is very small and a bit cramped and the emissions of that 1.8 will give you some fairly juicy tax bills.
