S40 V40 Cars: - "Sport"???

Mattmonkey · Dec 4th, 2013, 06:18

Hi all.

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong place to post this. I've only just joined the forum and am still finding my way round.

Having learnt to drive in a 240 GLE estate many years ago, I have just bought a 2003 V40 1.9 diesel estate and I'm glad I've gone back to a volvo. Getting into it after a few years of driving a mondeo estate has reminded me of how good a better quality car is to drive.

My question is that the V40 I've bought is a "sport" version. Is there any real difference between this and any other V40 of the same year?

I've tried googling it without success so I thought maybe the forum would be able to help.

Many thanks,

Matt

springs, 16" alloys (upgradeable to 17" on later P2's) boot spoiler with insert effect, front lip spoiler, also available as part of pack was option of black bezel headlights and indicators IIRC

Thanks for the reply Cookie.

I take it the springs would explain the "firm" ride?

When I test drove it I was on good town roads but I've found that on older B roads, every bump is noticeable. Not that I'm complaining. I got it at a good price and it's in cracking condition with a full history, and I'm loving the heated seats.
