Thanks for the insightful advice. I conclude that I should stay away from the XC. I drove an 855 and found it too stiff and full of rattles. The V70 or a 965 with four snows and limited slip seems to be the way to go. Probably V70 would win me over as long as I knew the weak points. I agree that the 960 has its weak points as well but I am more familiar with those and could probably nip them in the bud better than I could with the V70.

Thanks folks, I'll continue my hunt.
