Today I reached the 1000 mile mark on the new S40.
She gets better and smoother every day.
I simply add gas close to the 00 mark and ride it. Puts a smile on my face every ride.
It's driven like another real world practicle vehicle; like a second car but way more fun. For back and forth to work, trips to the bank, visits, meetings, day trips, etc.
No race replica, grocery carrying, or cross country ride fantisies. Just real world every day living. The S40 is doing it's job with an A +.
For me I made the right decision. Might come with age...
