2014 Volvo V40 T4 Polestar 1.6 turbo petrol from Brunei
Summary:
A practical, fun hot hatch
Faults:
Coolant system leaks and messages. Central locking issues.
General Comments:
This is the Polestar version of the V40 T4, 1.6. Tuned to 200+ HP, firmer suspension etc. Very quick, and in sports mode setting on the transmission, a beast. Of course it looks like any other boring V40 4 door, aside from the little blue badge on the back and a slightly throatier exhaust note. It catches a few out on the road when you leave them in your wake. Great fun to drive, but the firm ride is a bit uncomfortable on crappy potholed roads.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
