Volvo V40 Cross Country (2013 - 2019) D2 Cross Country Lux Nav 5d (2014/14) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Likes quality, but isn't hung up on German badges.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They are surprised that such a relatively unknown car should be so nice and available for so little money. My wife is astonished that this car is cheaper than my previous car, an Audi A3, which had zero extras included.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, it is great value for what you get.

What are you likely to buy next?

Probably something a bit bigger as the family is growing.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,500

When did you buy the car?

July 2015

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, the car had been reduced in value by £2500 on the day that I bought it, as they were expecting new stock. I was lucky to be the first to spot the deal.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Pleasant enough although they seemed to know less about the car than I knew myself having done a bit of research.

What's it like to drive?

Not a sporty drive, but holds the road well on bends. Suspension is a bit firm. Very comfortable on long cruises.

What's it like to park?

Still getting used to it, but no major issues to report. Turning circle could probably do with being a bit tighter.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet, but i've only owned it for 2 weeks.

What's most practical about your car?

Low CO2 emissions make it a good value company car. Lots of extras for the price. Least practical aspect is the size of the boot. With a spare wheel added the space left is very modest.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Couldn't do with out parking sensors, but these are so common these days I don't think of them as an extra. Probably have to say the very comfy and stylish looking leather seats.
