Having driven one of these for the last 2 years through my company, I can say that it is a very capable and comfortable cruiser. I churned out over 50000 miles in this car without a single mechanical hitch and it is certainly a pleasant drive over long distances.
The V40 is feature-rich and much is provided in the way of providing comfort and convenience for the driver. The cruise control was a bonus for me because I do a lot of motorway driving. Boot space is more than adequate and there is plenty of leg room. All-round visisbility in this car is also very good compared with other cars I have driven.
Under the bonnet of this V40 is quite a meaty 1.8 unit which dishes out a copious 120+ bhp and it certainly shows it. This beauty can top 100 mph without breaking sweat.To sum up I may be paying a visit to a Volvo dealer very soon!
