Also see Youtube "Volvo 240 GrH Rallying!" for some extreme Volvo 240 handling over a rally course. Some very impressive high-speed winding-back-road competitions, demonstrating that Volvos handle very well indeed, and can stay on their feet at the edge of their range...

Don't be too skeptical on this one. Back in 1994 my VW Rabbit gave up the ghost after many miles and I bought a 1984 Volvo wagon. I was surprised and pleased at the way it handled at speed. I now have a 1986 wagon (with only 120,000 miles on it), and it is VERY sure-footed on turns, as tight as they may come. And I am not unacquainted with good handling characteristics. A lot of years ago I owned as Triumph TR-2, and after that a 1954 Morgan Drophead Coupe. If you know anything about Morgans, they are as stable as a railroad car in turns (and as hard-riding!). Volvo wagons have very impressive handling.
