According to the link given, the S40 (WHICH IS WHAT THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT) doesn't suffer any gearbox problems. You are aware Volvo use different gearboxes in different models and engine options aren't you?

I heard, thanks for the link. I live in the UK and mines is a manual transmission though, and seems OK even at higher mileage. Seems to be a lot of complaints from USA automatic versions. Anyways, the main problem with cars over here (and not just Volvo; this affects many other manufacturers) is the increasing cost of repairs for electronic issues or wear and tear on modern cars, it has doubled in recent years, making keeping cars like this for a long time very hard; it is just never worth it when they get older. You could say that about any car I know, but I remember keeping cars for 15 years or more back in the day - now they do not seem to last as long!
