Before deciding on the mk7 GTD as my next car, I had a Volvo v40 D4 R design for five days on test drive. Could not wait to hand it back and get back into my mk6 GT. The Volvo made me and my passengers feel car sick!
 Best feature was the folding boot floor. Lol.

Also test drove a skoda Octavia vrs disel. Good car but felt a version behind the golf, Lots of mk 6 switch gear. Also the numbers didn't work for a company car.

Can't say anything about the Ford.I didn't really know about it in November last year.

Was it an old Octavia vrs as the new one uses exactly the same switch gear as the mk7 golf.

My mistake. it was a new one, but everything, especially the radio seemed a version behind the golf. there was no drama in the cabin like there is in a golf.

Every Volvo I have been in has made me feel car sick. My Wife wants a new XC60 next year but even in R-Design trim it feels too soft for my liking.
