For your 2011 Volvo S40, I highly recommend looking at the Thule Passage 2-Bike Rack, # TH910XT. Thule makes quality bike racks that have many great features and excellent vehicle fits. Their patented FitDial system will tell you exactly where and how to mount the bike rack on your trunk. For future reference, the Thule FitDial setting for your vehicle is 7.

The Passage also features anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from moving and hitting your bumper and narrowly spaced arms to accommodate a wide range of bike frame sizes.

I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you to check out. Keep in mind, bikes with alternative style frames and small children's bikes can be difficult to load on a bike rack. I strongly recommend using a bike adapter bar like part # UB01 for these types of bikes to load them easily and safely.
