Volvo V40 Hatchback (2012 - 2019) T2 (122bhp) R Design 5d Owner Review

As a small hatchback it suited our needs, it's well built, its safety record second to none. The interior is well laid out and comfortable to sit in. The only thing I don't like is all the buttons on the central area, it's well passed its sell by date as Volvo now admit. There's good boot room especially with the seats down. It's fast enough when needed but the petrol version I have tends to be greedy on the fuel cost. The back is comfortable enough for two medium sized adults, but would struggle with three in there. The screen is large enough to see all the available menu, but it takes a bit of playing around with to learn where everting is. So, overall, it's a nice car to look at, comfortable to drive, quick enough when needed, however let down by the now past it button layout for the controls. And the thirst for petrol if used a lot on fast roads.
