The interior is as cold and stoic as a winter in Iceland. Though there are some wood planks here and there, it looks incongruous and out of place beside the matte black plastics and leather seats. However, the fittings feel indestructible and crisp to the touch, while the leather certainly exudes class—something that this car generally has. Given its abilities and its badge, you’d be expecting that the T4 would fetch quite a sum of money. Not so, compared to its direct 2.2 million-peso rival, the T4 solidly undercuts the 318i Executive at 1.845 million. It even manages to end up as a better value than its performance rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX, which is priced at 2.1 million. For those who want a bit of animosity but maintain some class and some head-snapping performance, the 200-bhp T4 is definitely the best choice. However, for the soon to be parents out there, Volvo is offering a more practical solution: the V40 T4. At just fifty grand more, this baby offers the same level of performance in an estate shell. |
