How bad is a 1st gen. S40/V40, really?

I bought a 2000 S40 3 years ago with 36k miles. It now has 66k.
I replaced brakes, rotors, air and cabin filters.
The flex pipe went, but that was replaced under the emissions warranty
which is 80k miles. The car is very different from my '95 850 which was wrecked last month. The S40 is smaller, quicker, fun to drive, but you feel the road more. I should have bought wider tires. Maybe I've been lucky, but the car has run well so far.
