Volvos explained

[Matthew Millichap]

sounds quite and achievement - the focus is reckoned to be among the better
handling things in its class...

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??

sounding much like they were saying :

Mazda claim so...

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.
