9-3 aero sc, audi 3.2 a3, or volvo v50 t5?

time to get a more useful car than the TT (which I still love) -- but a somewhat usable backseat would be nice and I'd like the ability to fit a couple of golf bags in it, or maybe put a kayak on the roof. BUT THE NEW CAR MUST BE FUN TO DRIVE -- fast, good performance in turns, and stops quickly (sorry for yelling).
I'm down to these 3 -- the Audi and Volvo have AWD, which I like a lot. But whether I go FWD or AWD, I plan to have summer performance tires and separate snow tires.
I'll be driving all 3 over the next few weeks.
Fully loaded, at list prices, the Audi is about $2k more than the Volvo, which is about $2k move than the Saab.
What do you think? What are the strong and weak points of these 3 cars?
I've owned both Saabs and Audis and liked them both -- never has a Volvo.
Will I miss the AWD if I go with the Saab? Is there much (any?) torque steer?
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
