Intro
The Volvo V40 is in many ways the forgotten small estate. Whereas used buyers coo over the BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi's A4 Avant, the V40 changes hands less frequently. Why? Volvo owners seem to know when they're getting a good thing and the V40 ticks all the boxes with the minimum of flash, fuss and frustration. Even the V40's most ardent proponents wouldn't argue that it's on a level pegging with BMW or Audi, but should you feel unwilling to stump up for the German smoothies, a V40 is well worth a look.
