All good advice in this thread, including several "warnings" not to give it to a new driver. We own two 960's and a 940. My daughter drives the last and loves it. The 960 is a surprisingly torquey RWD which most young drivers are not used to. It's not necessarily "fast", but they get into trouble kicking the rear end out on slippery roads. If you're gonna give it to her -- (a)be sure to put 150 lbs. or more of cement blocks or sand in the trunk (I fit 2 75 lb. blocks up on the 'shelf' under the stereo speakers and box them in), (b) be sure to use siped snow tires liberally for Fall/Winter, and (c)take her out and let her drive in an empty industrial park or vacant area and play with kicking the rear end out and recovering by steering into the skid.
