hello, My name is Chris and I am looking for a bit of advice.

I have just been out today, looking for a newish car, after test driving a few different makes, both my wife and I have decided that we are quite taken with the Volvo V40.

It was a 2014 1.6 D2 1.6 R Design Lux auto, that we had a test drive in, but have also seen the Cross Country Lux.

I am correct in thinking that as they are both Lux, the trim level is the same?

I am looking at spending around £11K to £12K, which seems to get me a 2014 or older car and it needs to be an auto. What are your recommendations?

I am new to Volvo, having owned Opels for the past 20 odd years, and know nothing about them. What sort of things should I be looking out for and what are the servicing cost like.

Thanks for any info, and hope to be a new Volvo owner soon.
