Paint-work is very thin. It scratches off easily.
Battery needed replacement just after the warranty period.
A few bulbs have had to be replaced.
Apart from that, we have been very lucky.
Very reliable. Has only failed to start once due to the battery going.
Good performance, and good acceleration in sports mode.
Very comfortable on long journeys. Happy to cruise for hours in it. Seats are excellent.
On a full tank of petrol, we struggle to get 250 miles out of it. But that could be down to fast driving style!!!
Forward visibility on right hand bends is restricted due to pillar.
Steering wheel cannot be adjusted for reach.
Can be noisy in the cabin, with roof rack fitted. Also, boot not big enough for an Estate car.
I own a V40 T4 with A/C often on (Increasing fuel consumption). I only do city driving and get 340 Miles out of the 60-Litre tank. You virtually have to have a leak to do 250 Miles only. Get the car checked out.
