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.

I did have doubts about the power difference between the D5 to the D2, but I am prepared to take this on the chin as I am no boy racer.
If you have ever owned a V70 the hand brake is in a similar position so doesn't bother me, to be honest you don't really use it in an auto as it has anti roll back and hill start feature, only use it to park
