Those of us who are used to the fantastic turning radii of our RWD euros (including our 200/700/900 which could almost pivot on the rear wheel) have been rudeley awakened to the fact that in FWD Volvos the turning radius sucks. They're worse than a lot of other FWD's, too, who can make turns I can't. It's my one disappointment with this otherwise beautiful automobile. In Italy and Austria last year I had to return a rental Volvo because I couldn't get around the hairpin turns...wound up touring in a 1.8T Passat 5spd (nice, but no Volvo) which could do the turns.
