The older Volvos are nice and fun to drive, but AWD is great in the snow and rain slick roads. Plus the ABS is much better than it used to be. The 'new' AWD system coupled with traction control and engine management makes it almost impossible to spin out. I watched some BMW guys try to make an XC slide on watered down pavement, they just couldn't do it at any speed.

Safety is more than just surviving a 'hit', it is avoiding the hit that counts. Volvo is no longer a seat of the pants driver's car, it is a comfortable car that happens to be quite safe.
