They feel much heavier on the road, less agile, handling is far worse. I don't know if you experience this, but when I'm driving a Saab, especially the 9000, I feel like everything I do is answered by the car, and I can control exactly what the car is doing. When driving a Volvo, however, I feel more like a passenger. We rented an 850 for a week, and both my wife and I thought it wasn't much more "special" of a car than the Camry, which when we rented one of those for a week we thought it had absolutely nothing to recommend it. To compare to some other cars, the Olds Alero, for instance, is a better drive than the Volvo 850. The 9000 is head and shoulders better than what Volvo has to offer, IMHO.
