Pleased with my purchase
So far so good for my D4 Lux Nav. :-)
The dorris and I were at loggerheads as to go for this or the the Scirocco R-line but in the end I won out (for once) and my spangly toy is now here!
To me the V40 is in another class to the Scirocco - although not quite as pretty, the V40 and trim level is waaay better for the money. First impressions of the Volvo are great - being in the Volvo is like sitting in something engineered for quality rather than bits of old wheelie bin that were thrown together as cheaply and quickly as possible.
I tried out a couple of BMW as well, the 330D and the 135 M sport and really was not impressed by either. Considering that we're talking similar money across the board, the V40 was the clear winner.
For my hard earned I got:
Winter pack
Adaptive cruise control
Bliss
Sports chassis
Bendy lights
Full leather
Spare wheel (how come this is an option nowadays?)
Park pilot
Extra safety stuff
Navigation
Other things I've forgotten about
From VW I would have got some wheels and an engine. :-)
The only downside is the load space but it seems about average for this class of car but coming from a V70, everything is small!
