Felt well screwed together.
Not sure but I felt the seats not as comfy as other Volvo seats. They may just need a bit of wear.
Engine was lovely (new D4) and the car could fairly shift.
According to the computer average was 51.5 mpg which was pretty good.
Not too sure that I liked the dashboard display buy I guess one would get used to it.
Compared to a BMW120D(183bhp?) I had a demo in the V40 was far nicer and felt much quicker.

In case you didn't know, you can change the theme of the dashboard display, depending on your mood.

Elegance
Eco
Racing Performance
