Well not a lot to say! I am very happy after the first 500Kms with the car. Everything works out as expected and the car is very smooth in acceleration and overall driving.
Regarding the power, it seems adequate but I will definitely perform a remap once available in my country. I tried the top speed once, reached 230KM/h with 6th gear and 4700 rpm. From what I understood the overboost of 30Nm kicks in at exactly 4.000 in hard acceleration.
Fuel consumption is at 9.4l/100Km. You can see my fuelly profile at http://www.fuelly.com/driver/volver/v40
For the end I kept the photo, not a really good one but it's one of the very few I have for now due to bad weather.
That's plenty fast enough thanks! I once drove a V6 Palmer Jaguar (below) round a wet track at 140mph (230km/h) frightened the life out of me. New underpants please...
Nice car in white. Finally, I decided that I like this Ice White! And, 230 kms/h is a speed I never touched myself. Something like 200 seems to be more familiar. I am quite sure that it was a first try out, not to be repeated (at least in the near future) :s. Enjoy your car, the best is yet to come !

Ahh of course not. I don't like speeding over than 150KM/h in any case. I feel totally unsafe. It's just the things that you want to do one time to see the limits of the car. And of course it was on an empty 3-lane highway. Just me and the car
BTW, in the past I have only speeded once over 200Km in a German autobahn. I was still able to see a lot of cars passing by at higher speeds Crazy Germans
We took delivery of a new R-Design 3 weeks ago with the promise the dealer would retrofit front parking sensors after delivery. They had a car in the pipeline that fitted my spec except for the front sensors so they could deliver a lot faster.
Loving the car so far even though the dealer has...
Hi all, so earlier this year I got my hand on the Rebel Blue V40 D2 that I love, however I have never been one to drive around in a bog standard car so I have got to modifying it in my own way :)
So far I have fitted a Sub under the driver seat, hardwired a Dashcam front and back and started...
Hi 🙋 my name is Cee I'm from the UK England Nottingham.
I've had my v40 for just over two weeks, I came from a Volvo c30 which I loved so much I couldn't sell and now my other half he has it.
The v40 compared to the c30 in one word...epic. I miss the uniqueness of the c30 they weren't so common...
My new S60 T5 Inscription Plus which joins my wife's V40 Inscription in our yard. Sorry for imposing it on the V40 forum but thought regulars might be interested to see it. Colour is Pebble Grey? Go figure that !
Just been informed that my Selekt warranty doesn’t cover oil leaks. So much for that peace of mind Volvo tries to sell you when buying used from one of their own dealers.
