Hi, I am a UK lease car driver due for a new car at the end of Sept. I am torn between the golf and the V40. I would be keen to know if anyone else considered the Golf and why they chose the V40.
I have driven both cars on extended test drives and both have their strengths. I have been back to the showroom today and looked at both again.
I do love the quality feel of the Volvo cabin and think I am going to go for it rather than the Golf. I am confused about specification however.
I would be ordering the R design Lux. I understand it has the full leather seats rather than the T tec offered in the standard R design and that it has rain sensing wipers and (Adaptive?) cruise control. I am unclear as to whether it has the theatre lighting, can someone confirm this? Does it also have xenon headlights or are these optional? Are there any other things added above the standard R design?
Can you also tell me if the premium sound pack is worth the additional money in terms of music quality over the standard high performance system?
One thing that does seem unfair is that the heated seats are an optional extra.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Matt
