Even better than I expected.

I had been a regular Honda buyer, but the problems with my HRV were never resolved properly. I was going to buy a Volvo suv but fell in love with this “tiny” V40, the size and style turned out to exactly what I wanted, I don’t do many miles yearly and mostly trips of lest than 20 miles and I was happy with the petrol version.
I was amazed that after the HRV, everything worked and without fuss, without going back to the dealer for another update, or recall, or adjustment, ( I only did 4000 miles from new in the HRV).
The V40 is a competent fuss free comfortable machine with such a look of capable elegance.
