Just brought a V40 a few months ago ... in part thanks to your review. Clever, fun, accurate. Even though its interior is a bit outdated... its an incredible car. Thanks.
This feels like a metafiction as she’s like just talking about the car but also living her “usual” ride to somewhere as she sings and complains about the traffic and such very charming in my opinion although I’d put the singing portions less often
We have a 2016 V40 T4 2.0 litre turbo and it is a “ keeper.” Everything you liked about your car lines up with our likes. Love your quirky review. A real change from the usual boring “ we know everything” petrol head journo’s that are usually served up. Many thanks. 😁
I'm not fond of start-stop technology either. My friend's 2015 Merc C class had an engine failure because of it, thankfully it was still under warranty.
Look at the video where they roll a V40 sideways........then tell me you want an Audi. Also Audis don't have indicators fitted as standard.......at least not on our roads 😁
Do you think the start/stop is dangerous in South Africa where theres a higher risk of carjacking ? Loving the singing as always - always makes me smile :) This one is before the new touchscreen ( your favourite ) infotainment system
I would love to know why the South African market is so obsesses with black leather interiors. They're hot in our climate and makes the cosy cabin seem claustrophobic. Black black black on the used market. *sigh*
between this car and the Audi A4, hmm, buy an S60 with the T6 engine, Summum trim level and the supplemental safety pack, dont ask me how they call that in your country, LOL Here is why, if you are cross shopping with the A4 it means you need some decent space in the trunk, and the V40 just doesnt have it, ITS A CITY HATCHBACK,, like the A3 from audi. The A4 is a sedan with a much larger truck, doh it is a larger vehicle, and the equivalent from volvo of the A4 is the S60. interior wise it is very very similar to the V40 in this video, but with much better materials for the seats, LOL. otherwise it has the same dashboard, and very similar central console. especially if you are one of those people who loves having knobs and buttons instead of stupid IPADs , like I do.
I am watching this video looking forward to my very first V40 switching from Toyota... Question apart from the car... Fancy sunclasses!!! ´Pleeeeaaaaassse let me know the brand and model no.!!! Many thanks!!
Pad a, the doors all auto locked after 5 seconds entry, for let's say the dodgy parts of the world, ! I find it a pain in the UK, if I give a lady a lift,the look on their face when they hear the doors lock is priceless, you can override it, !

Thank you for such a lovely comment. And so happy you got a V40, still one of my favs! xxx
Hows the car after 2 years can you break down the costs in terms of maintenance
You are so entertaining, and informative at the same time, as a brand new Volvo driver I loved your cover of this, and am sold.
1 song was ok, second was good, but third. Wdf is she doing. Focus women focus on topic

So the sound system is good?

Which would you choose though, this Volvo or the Audi A3 Sportback (if they cost the same) ?
is this a joke? attempt at sarcasm?
ofcorse Volvo...
Volvo
Absolute bollocks
not sure if Randall and Gareth Cliff will appreciate your singing :)
Love your reviews!! So fun
A beautiful driver driving a beautiful car ...Heaven.......
Very entertaining JM, I admire your confidence. I have an Inscription with blonde leather interior and Osmian grey jacket. Love 💕 it 😊👋👍🇬🇧
😂😂😂😂 I like how you keep switching to the singing. Nice one. It's really good to see South African ladies doing motor journalism.
Loooooooove my Volvo. Your reviews rock Jules
Juliet - I love this review!!! Totally - especially the songs!!!
No pro photographer or singer...rather just focus on the car
Just brought a Volvo V40 D4 2015...
Live in Sweden, Volvo = Cuality
Test drive on Tuesday. Don't think I could go for the light interior - it would get too mucky.
Have to disagree. The light enterior makes it feel bigger inside and lets not get started on what blacl leather looks like when it ages :/
My favorite favorite car.... ❤️
I hope they will bring it back. Hybrid or electric is fine.
I'm not fond of start-stop technology either. My friend's 2015 Merc C class had an engine failure because of it, thankfully it was still under warranty.

My daughter looks and drives like you.....including the singing 🤣👍

Well then dont live in South Africa!

Georgeous car ..love volvo 😍
1:00 What is the name of the song??
These Boots Are Made For Walkin' - Nancy Sinatra. There are also at least 16 covers out there.
WTF? Is this a proper car review of the V40 or a frustrated karaoke singer saying 'Look at me, Look at me'??
Don't worry, its just you're "frustrated" point of view!
favorite car, favorite review. Very funny! Thx a lot!!!
Nice car . Nice singing and so well spoken. My kind of car and my kind of girl.💚💋
Nice review! I thought your car is white velvet like your singing voice!
Glowing review! Is there another trip to Italy soon?
Well this car is a lot cheaper than here in Ireland and who needs a big booth
We love this car and wants to get one but we also love audi a4 and it's hard to deside

Good thing youtube allows you to skip forward and avoid unpleasant content like this woman's dreadful singing.
Had to stop it due to the constant singing to the radio song.
honestly you are gorgeous, that's impressive review.
I love it.

Ooooh I am so excited for you!! I LOVE this car. So the sunglasses (also my favourites) are Ray Ban Erika. Enjoy!!!
Great! Thanks a lot!
Haha classic, great review and singing…
whilst she was reviewing the car / i was reviewing her nice contours
Don't quit your day job to become a singer ;-)
why not?
Does the Volvo symbol ever bother you? Some women have said that since it's the same symbol as the "male symbol", they wouldn't buy it.
George L gosh I've never heard that. What a silly reason not to buy a car.
That's iron alchemy symbol!!! Not male symbol!!!
Simply amazing 😂

Great
Please, don't criticise compact cars for their lack of room. Isn't that the actual pro that you bought it for?
Stop singing
I want to take a review of Juliette.
like a scene from a tiktok
Gorgeous car Gorgeous Woman 💗
Ciao Juliet sei carina.
The singing is so annoying, couldn’t watch it
O.k i take the girl.....keep the car
Did i come here just to see you sing? I want to focus on the car, not you.
Parece loca
I came here for the car. Not to hear singing.
