That hand brake park was classic!

learn about the car before reviewing it. the pedestrian airbag congress out from just under the windscreen. also, when parking it, you are supposed to press the brake when it tells you to stop

So they managed to crash it twice during this test...!? I know it's a Volvo but even so that takes the piss. Could have spent less time clowning around and instead telling us about the ride/handling/practicality etc.

Volvo V40 One of the Safest and Most Reliable Car in the Volvo Marque. I enjoy my D2, Full of Zest.

Love looking at all the cool old planes in the backdrop of these videos!

I'm with Dan Kitchen, not a driver's review, just a gadget chat, an uneducated one at that, now I remember why I don't watch 5th gear

I love mine so smooth, pleasure to drive , I have the R Design in Rebel blue , these guys did not do it justice at all , I don’t know what kind of review this is , was more like taking it to local yobs and saying what do you think ? Ermmm we got extra knobs 😀👍🏽,, 🤣🤣🤣 I’m a top gear fan myself though so I don’t know this show 🤷🏽‍♀️ this wouldn’t help anyone no info (pros or cons) .. the front of mine is not boring. It has the pedestrian sensors a camera I don’t use the park assistance either. But great to have the option. Seats very comfortable (half suede half leather ) a lot of space in the car and boot . I don’t have the flashy knob 🤔 Nav built in , I have the diesel is soooooo quiet! Cup holders front and bk 🤷🏽‍♀️ Stop /start engine all extras voice commands , dial changes , has everything , I always get compliments on the car and asked why I choose to buy this car (Volvo v40 ) My reply always same Volvos are well built strong cars , it’s great on insurance. And I don’t wanna have same car as everyone else , So not only is it reliable , good looking all the extras and I don’t have to have the same Astra as everyone else or if they think they being different the bmw 1 series. 😊.

Thats pretty dumb, the Auto Park function only controls the steering, the driver still operates the gears, throttle and the brake, so backing into a car like that is completely the "drivers" fault, and if he cant even reverse a car, equipped with parking sensors, what the hell is he doing presenting a show dedicated to cars?? lame...

THAT HANDBRAKE TURN IS FANTASTIC

How is it a rival against a focus when ford own Volvo and the V40 is a focus chassis.? I have the v50 r design, love it to bits, because of its handling, due to that amazing focus chassis.

Stop shitting!! Volvo RULES!!

What is the plane in the background?

Nice handbrake turn, dam those eletronic parking brakes, but how does it drive 🤔

the pedestrian airbag comes through the hinged area of the hood to protect the pedestrian from hitting "the windscreen", but it pushes the "bonnet" into them at the same time. lol i consider this as a bonnet to the face for the pedestrian, and extra protection for the passengers.

1:16 "Well I think the airbag comes out there somewhere???" Could you be any more unprepared for a for a vehicle review if you tried? This information is freely available? Even direct from Volvo. I though the whole point of reviewing something was to offer your INFORMED critical analysis cased on core elements and professional knowledge in the field. One without the other leaves you 50% unprepared and this debacle unfolds.

Sup yo! Expressive! venomous flood What do you think? !

It's not really a test if they're seeing who can park it the fastest

Who would have this over a c30?

2:58 thats what happens when u not paying attention

These four reviewers clowning around = "review"...

TopGear is MUCH better

I think the front looks better than the back. =/

Why is VBH constantly referred to as a a racing driver? I cannot find any info on her racing career beside some carting stuff. Well connected and the correct chromosome but her driving is at best mediocre.

So did they actually use the car for what it was designed for??? err.... drive it (other than dicking around). What a bunch of tools.

@jooger69

Actually parking cars has become increasingly more difficult through out the years. Visibility is worse because of safety requirements (thicker pilars) and the cars are larger. Since most parking spaces are made for cars from the 70s there is a lot less space. Turning radiuses are also worse these days. Also cars used to have bumpers for a reason. A small touch could be buffed out. Now days it can crack a plastic "bumper". That's why companies are introducing devices like this. I'd much rather prefer people having these devices instead of damaging my car.

Learned nothing about the car, they spent 6 mins parking it.

Wow so fake top gear wannabe

Worthless review!

childish

Still like the Volvo C30 better!

This is joke!
