I drove the D2 and it felt pretty weedy if I'm honest.
The saving grace is that being a 2ltr engine that is restricted to 120bhp, the potential for unlocking extra power should be pretty decent, especially given it's a Volvo unit.
I never liked the V40 until I actually drove one however. It felt solid, heavy and very "volvo-ish" to drive which is good. The interior also felt much more feature-rich compared to the S40/V50 whereby the interior felt very bare.
The only thing wrong with it is the handbrake is on the wrong side of the centre console.
