I'm feeling quarrelsome today.... -"admirably" is too strong a word, IMHO. Can we agree on "adequately"?

Still quarrelsome... The diff, absolutely! I have not been so stuck I needed help to get out in my GT86 yet; with an open diff I'd probably be a popsicle by a lonely mountain road by now.
But chassis dynamics? Doesn't feel like it matters much in low traction, low speed, and low G's conditions.

Uhm... Nope, just agree

They are! AWD Volvos are good, too. And very boring the rest of the year.
