Good evening all,

I'm seriously considering getting a V40 but could do with some advice.

Can anyone give me a brief description of the various trim levels? One car I'm going to look at is a 1.8 SE but what does the SE mean? How do these affect insurance costs?

I've heard mention of different engines and heard terms like 1.8, 1.8i, GDI etc. How can I tell which one I am looking at? Is the GDI really the one to avoid?

Thanks in anticipation

Ian.
