It doesn't handle well in comparison to a proper sports car.

But for a family saloon to be chucked round like that is pretty impressive.

Understeer or not that was my point
not it was a brilliant handling car etc.

What was its time for BTG? Cos the lines it was taking were dreadful.

I know 400bhp is crap in a volvo.FFS...looked no bad to me on the track for the size etc....

but you can't compare it to a 'proper sports car'

it's not a proper sports car it is a fast large family car. and for that reason it done not to bad.

Not that impressive TBH. Slows right down in the bends.

Have you ever driven round that track
I certainley haven't and I don't think your qualified to make a judgement till you have done a lap yourself with all that traffic etc. can't be easy

Never driven it but seen a hell of alot of cars go round with so much more control and stability than that Volvo.

not bad but found it a bit boring tbh.

not really much to compare it against there.
Could have different if you could have seen what the driver was doing in the corners etc... maybe would have givin a better idea of how it handled.
