RE: Shed Of The Week: Volvo V40 T4

[benz0]

I've had a 2004 V40 2.0t Sport for a couple of years now as an all round family car. I would have preferred a T4 if one had been available in good condition, but this still pulls pretty well. I imagine the T4 must be more fun and is infinitely more tuneable (the 2.0t does not like being tuned).

Even on the sport model though, the handling is rather sloppy, and yes it struggles to put the power down in low gears. Very comfortable for long runs though, and an incredible set of front seats that pivot all over the place; they are so adjustable.

For shedding I think they get high marks.
