VTT5 is on the right track. The steering limitations are limitations of a front wheel drive. I miss my old 940 which could make a single turn on a small backroad and never leave the asphalt! But I'll trade turning ability for the dozens of other positives of my 01 V70! I think one of the best enhancements was cabin noise (or lack thereof in the V70). It was hard to carry on a conversation with someone in the backseat at highway speeds in the 940. Granted the 940 was infinately easier to work on.

But the bottom line is you'll never have as much turning radius on a tranverse mounted FWD as a RWD vehicle.
