I absolutely love C30s, having previously owned a 2.0D R-Design from new in 2009. That was chipped and was a beast of a car.
The V40 is a great car to drive - and it goes really, really well. Shame to hand it over to the missus, really... It is somewhat larger than the C30 - and quite hard to see out of - and i hate the look of the rear, but it has got the thumbs up from rear seat passengers, which is the point of the swap.

I know what you mean, I love the C30 too. If I could buy a new C30 I would, but sadly even the newest are ten years old now.
What engine have you got in your V40?
