Certified 2023 Volvo C40 Recharge Core

The Volvo C40 offers the combination of a powerfully efficient electric powertrain, packaged in a sporty design with a respectable ground clearance. I also appreciate Volvo's reputation for safety and the C40's solid sound system. I've loved every minute of driving my C40. It's a comfortable, quick car, and it has proven to be very reliable. I am a bit of an audiophile, and I love the sound system, which was superior to the competing vehicle that I test drove. The infotainment system is nice, but not overly sophisticated. I enjoy being able to say, "Hey, Google," then operate the climate control, send text messages, make phone calls, utilize GPS navigation, and more. I find that it's just right for making the driving experience easier and more enjoyable. There have been a number of rare occasions (less than five) when I had to reset the infotainment system due to anomalies on the screen that did not affect driving; however, this process is simple and I am able to do it while I continue to drive. Some people complain about the range of this vehicle, but in reality it has not been an issue for me. Buyers need to know what their typical daily mileage is. If it's close to half of the stated range (or more) I would be a bit apprehensive about buying but it worked fine for me. The only downsides so far are a Google Assistant who seems to be on break half the time, and a snafu with the air conditioning. It's only happened once, but after having parked the car for an hour in direct sunlight on a 91 degree day, the air would not work for the ride from there to my next destination. It worked fine before and after, just not for that trip.
