Default Our cars 'handling' in general

What do most people think of the way S40/V50/C30's handle generally?

Personally I think although my S40 handles and grips generally well it doesn't feel like it wants to? the steering feel was always documented on these models as being below par and that's certainly still the case.

On motorways the car gets unsettled in crosswinds too easily, on rough surfaces the ride is too firmly sprung etc.

Been thinking about polybushing the car as I'm convinced the bushings are contributing to a lack of feedback and a general 'lazy' feel to the drive; for example - steering inputs at speed seem to create a delayed reaction from the rear of the car, which would make sense if the bushings are flexing too much.
