Volvo V40 (Team Review) - Fifth Gear 

That hand brake turn was perfection

4:30 Jason just has the skills

0:48 "The back looks very different from the front" - genius.

Well done Volvo for putting in a proper handbrake, none of that crappie electric handbrake crap

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.

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

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

But how does it drive?

Love my Volvo v40 best car I've owned 😀

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 handbreak turn pfff so good!

My first car, the 2017 one. Handles fantastic :-)

Jason Plato, TV's true driving god.

Best part of Review was the Cool Handbrake parking between 2 cars!!!

how is this a "review"? it's just a bunch of random people laughing and saying things anyone could say ("I like the front" "the interior is nice")

I really liked what I saw @4:30 that was so cool!

God, Volvo must have been pissed when they saw that handbrake turn. Jason's balls and confidence to go for it is amazing!

so not only did they disrespect most of the volvo, they crashed it as well. i wanted an actual consumer review not bollocking about

THAT HANDBRAKE TURN IS FANTASTIC

Stop shitting!! Volvo RULES!!

God you can see why they never trumped Classic Top Gear

What is the plane in the background?

Volvo is an amazing car

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.

I love fifth gear reviews

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.

i always come back to watch this video for the handbrake turn.!

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

How's the transmission CVT. Has it got any better or is still crap.

Their review is like that of Conan reviewing new games,fun to watch but you won't get all what you need

i agree this isn't the type of in depth reviews we used to see, this should be called "team opinions" or "team and test" something like that that doesn't translate to review cuz this isn't the one we all prefer but still like it nonetheless

That’s the car that I want to buy!!!!

They reviews might be very subjective but cleverly, their videos are fulfilled with these ridiculous stuffs that they do (in a good way tho) and how low profile they are which made every video looks qualified.

Did they hand it back scuff?

Nice parking skills ..........

Sidelight love

Tiff like BMW's. Any other cars to him is just rubbish. I love this Volvo very much.

Are we going to ignore 3:00?

Alternative title Jason Plato make handbrake turn and park Volvo v40

parking review?

4:30 o.O *bow*

I still have my 13 v40 cc d3

HAMSTER DOCKING STATION - LOVE THAT

abi bu eski ya...

Yeh, I never use the auto parking

haha good episode, like this gj F gear

1:50 Wow A young (and goth?!) looking Jonny Smith

Jason looks like Slogoman

holy mother of parking!

I like these guys and girl a lot. That's how the French park

The young one reversed that sh#t WAYYY to quickly for the computer to sort out what to do!!!!

Looking at the current crop of BMWs I get the impression that BMW designers and engineers are racing to build the world's ugliest cars!

You moved it. I never!

The clutch is very hard on this car

The review, so called,was too much about how much fun they could have parking it, self indulgent !! it was too much about ME ME and ME, the car was just a platform for this lot to have a laugh !! one star *

Bloody hell, jason

I know plato is a btcc driver but he is unbelieveable driver jesus

not the first car with airbag for people walking! saab already intented it in 2003

now thats what you call "PARKING"

Can’t watch this finish wow

Not to be mean but Tiff should never review conventional cars, in all honesty, none of these team tests, he gave a decent score to any normal, affordable cars. He is always the one scoring lowest for good cars and score high for odd and bad ones. Seriously.

y they hate on volvo? ;( we swedes love it

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

front look fantastic, and seams like driver push the gas pedal at 3.00 so crash happened on parking.. it's obvious..

“I think it’s part of the optional extra. The radar infra red. It scans the road for any pedestrians that *come out*.” Guess we don’t want any gay people in the way of the V40! 😂😂

Who would have this over a c30?

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.

WTH did just happen!!! : 4:30

2:58 thats what happens when u not paying attention

that's the car I got my license in

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

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

TopGear is MUCH better

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

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.

2 many cooks

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.

Is this a "Team review"??? What a joke. They are just clowning around... Show us the good damn car, inside out instead.

Mates,please stop comparing every single car on the market with BMW..,we are getting really tired of it.. Try some Toyota Auris,Mazda 3,Opel Astra,Hyundai I30..i mean really,the world is not BMW. And my personal opinion is that the 1 series close to that Volvo looks like a ugly Frankenstein pig!! And one question..how many people you see on your daily driving going sideways to work or to the market?? Thank you

👏👏😆🎉🎄

just saying but KIA (the company the dumbasses hate on) put this exact feature in like a cee'd almost a decade ago. and it worked perfectly too...

First

Stolen top gear gag with the parking?

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

Absolutely horrible review, as a potential buyer of a car, I don't want to know how fast my car can be parked when bullocking around, but literally all other aspects of the car.

Park assist? yet another driver aid to help produce a generation of inadquacy and dangerous drivers. Anyone who is not capable of parking their own vehicle has no right to a driving licence.

Wow so fake top gear wannabe

childish

Worthless review!

This is joke!

Still like the Volvo C30 better!

Oh for fuck sake, why does it have to be yet another diesel? I hate diesels. I have now lost interest.

These clowns are the last people you would want to review a car. All trying to see who can be the funniest. Pathetic.

What a mess of a review.

Junk.

Pathetic ' review' juvenile and crass. Pointless 'Clarksonesque' attempt

I'll stick with my old Volvo 340DL. The new Volvos are just glorified Fords.
