The engine/autobox is also a mine field for me.
we do about 7k per annum so petrol/auto seems the way to go BUT there are few used ones as most are diesel. I hear the problems of DPF etc that result from short runs and understand the D4 is the super new way forward.
I am also surprised at the cost of the v40.
The other option is the v/s60 which are equally pricey it seems but at least have comfier seats and the new 60,s are of similar size to the old s60!
I am not keen on the R-design or big wheels which the dealers seem to keep the most of on the forecourts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as we need to narrow down a target model!

I've found the seats to be deceptively comfortable. I have an XC60 and an XC90 as well but I find on a long journey my V40 Cross Country seats the most comfortable. I have the D2 with a Powershift box. That's the one with double clutches. It is very good on fuel consumption, about 65 mpg on a run.
