No roll on turns or diving when braking. You can really hang the turns. The Saab is a fun weekend car, when I can pick smooth, open roads for fun. Unfortunately the fun roads where the Saab excels are not the same roads I need to take when I drive to work :-( I am fortunate enough to be able to afford more than one car. The second car has a soft ride that soaks up the bumps and potholes. Its handling is far more than adequate for the stop and go traffic in my commute. This car is great for long trips and rough roads on my daily commute to work.
