Summary
What does this car say about you?
That we stand out from the crowd and don't buy an unreliable stupid German car, which we had made the mistake of doing before.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They all really like it although one wasn't too keen as it is a 'Volvo' but he is just a badge snob! One of our friends is seriously considering to buy a V40 now after her just seeing it.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Apparently a new V40 is launching next year! Might just get that.
What are you likely to buy next?
A new V40 as said above or just might go to MG as they have a very nice range.
