I was driving a Dodge Ram Hemi in Ca, then a Nissan Versa Note in Co - 5.7 litres of V8 and then 1.6 litres of I4. I have to admit I very much enjoyed the Dodge, the Nissan much less so - it was truly shit. Plasticy, cheap, but it did handle far better than the Dodge, was better damped.
It was interesting getting into the 850R, sleep deprived and grumpy, to find actual real steering feel, comfy seats, a car that didn't threaten to roll onto it's roof in a mild corner and had actual power (output wise the Volvo is pretty much on par with the Hemi, weighs quite a lot less though).
