I agree. Don't believe the hype that FWD/AWD is such a great thing. I too still drive my trusty 20 yr old 745T and put 4 Blizzaks (mounted on wheels from Tirerack) on every winter. The car's not good in snow w/o the snow tires but with them, I go anywhere that the SUVs go in a snow storm with confidence. The car also stops better in snow than newer cars with ABS (another device I can live without). If I know that I'll be in a blizzard, I'll put 3 80 lb sand tubes in the cargo area as the added weight helps.
Your '95 940 will outlast the newer FWD/AWD Volvos and won't take you to the bank with repair bills. I'm hoping to keep my similar car yet another 10 yrs and by then it will have about 400K + miles on it (270K now).
