Volvo V40 (96-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value for money. Recommend buying second-hand to let someone else get stung for the extras.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Spares are quite expensive and it is a little bit thirsty.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I love this car to drive. If just a little furtive in the wet.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    When you hit 3500rpm and the turbo cuts in, what can I say.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Hasn't let me down yet, although super unleaded doesn't seem to agree with it to much.

    As I'm in my early thirties, was asked if my next purchase would be a flat cap and some driving gloves.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    No problems with comfort.

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    As with all Volvos, security and safety seem to be high their agendas, not really had cause to question it.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Haven't had to use manufacturer really to be able to comment.
