    Maybe so - but isn't the MX5 reckoned to be one of the best handing
    sports cars of all time? Maybe it's a bit unfair to compare a
    4/5person family car to a dedicated 2seater highly rated sports car?
    (and Im not a Ford fan before someone asks where my loyalties lie!)

    Oops - I shd really read things properly! Further to the point who
    can expect a Volvo estate to compare to an MX5??

    At the end of the day Ford has a hand in all of these cars mentioned. It
    uses Volvo engines in the hot Focus and has a 33.4% share of Mazda and
    wholly owns VCC.

    The comparison wouldn't do the Volvo any favours, for sure. Point is, I
    didn't expect the Volvo to be any fun to drive. I did expect it to be
    more comfortable and better built than it was.
