Thanks all for your input. As stated previously my concerns were regarding fuel consumption and whether the S40 was suited to occasional off road use. I would say my work consists of around 90% urban to 10% rural driving, a small proportion of the rural being on rough farm or forest tracks. I’ll bare in mind what has been said about springs/suspension but I suppose my main concern is whether the car will be unduly thirsty. I am managing to get around 45mpg in my present vehicle.
