The Volvo V40 is a superb blend of sexy, safe and sensible. Lets face it - we all want the sexy car - the sporty things with two seats and plenty of umph, we also like the safe, believing that we CAN travel at 100mph in complete safety (?) - and as hard as it is to admit, for those of us with kids we all desire the sensible. OH NO! NOT THE SKODA TYPE SENSIBLE - NEVER - we like a boot, some space.

Well, this volvo has it all: Four-cylinder petrol engine (129 BHP), 16 valves. 0-62 mph in under 7.0 seconds. Electronic engine management. The turbo-charged petrol engines also have twin-scroll turbo and charge-air cooler (Intercooler).

Its easy handling front-wheel drive, five-speed manual gearbox gives this car the handling of any sports car. For a large acr it has an amazing turning circle of just 10.6 m.

When we talk safety this car has it - power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution between front and rear brakes (EBD). Diagonal split brake system. Anti-roll bars front and rear. Volvo’s anti-spin system (DSA). Automatic levelling.

On the sensible side it has a 60 litres fuel tank nad plenty of leg room and boot space.
