    Just bought a V40 Cross Country and absolutely love it. Smooth, comfy, cheap to run, practical enough for my needs, feels well put together, great radio with Bluetooth and USB.. Its got it all and its only the D2.

    A great review...btw...you said you had driven few v40s with different engines...which engine would you go to as far as sound is concerned d2 4 cylinder or d3 (already not in sale) 5cylinder which i heard sounds cool but is bit to loud?

    • @ShanesAutos
      @ShanesAutos  Před 7 lety +1

      the reclus funny that you should comment because I was driving this actual car over the past few days. The D2 is excellent, good power and good on fuel. I've not driven a D3 V40 so I wouldn't know but you get 150 bhp and to be honest I'd say it's every bit as good on fuel as the D2. The D2, D3 and D4 are all the same 4 cylinder engine just with different power outputs. I have driven the D4 which has 190 bhp and is really quick but not the D3 as I said.

      XxAdizero97xX the V40. It’s got more than enough space inside and a good sized boot, however if you do need something bigger for whatever reason I’d get the Mondeo but the V40 should be plentyful.

    a bit old now, but all v40 reviews iv seen have a beef with the center console. its hard to controll while driving. No single review iv seen mentions that you can controll most of it from the litte "mouse wheel" in the steering wheel... or by using voice commands(if you have that option). Great review, im on my second V40, upgraded from a MY2017 T2 Momentum to a MY2019 T3 R-design. =)

      Danim24 haha had a a feeling that's what you ment. The D2 is good in the V40 but yes if I was buying an R Design I'd get the 190 BHP D4, would be a rocket with that engine.
