Great fun

I bought this after owning a V40 T4 SE for 10 years. The persormance far outstrips the T4 as does the level of equipment. My only gripe is the fuel economy, but again, for the performance perhaps it's not too bad and thus far, I have only done comparatively short runs. With a 0-60 of 6.3 secs and a 149 top speed I suppose it's reasonable. Road-holding is superb, even comparing it to my Mk 2 MX-5 Sport which has very similar fuel consumption thinking about it. Passenger comfort is very good for a coupé and its load space is very reasonable. If you want a load carrier, buy a V70. All-in-all, a very pleasant, quick and quiet mode of transport.
