Whichever Volvo was at the 9-3 Proving Grounds, it came in a distant dead last compared to the even just the base 9-3 Linear, Mercedes C240, BMW 325i, and Audi A4.The acceleration whine alone was enough to make anyone who knows how to test drive a car to walk away with shrinkage equaling that to being dunked in 55 degree water. The delayed front-end response on the slalom course was laughable. In all, if this is the car we're talking about from the Proving Grounds, I became convinded that when I see it on the highway, THAT person did a one car test drive so they are simply oblivious to what a poor car they are driving having driven nothing else.
