To turn a V70 and overcome the turning radius problem (which is far worse in an S80), do three things at once: quickly crank the wheel all the way over; hit the gas hard; apply the parking brake hard but keep your hand on the lever. When the car is headed back where you came from, release the parking brake. Try this in a wet parking lot at 5 mph to get the idea. I don't believe this would work well in an AWD.
