i have been told by my friendly volvo dealer mine has the "comfort" suspension
i am taking that to be "its not as harsh as the non-comfort" options,
predictable would be the 1 word id use to describe it
comfy,, yes to a point,
feed back, yes to a point,
capable, yes, but not in a sporty way
its not as "waft along" as the 940 i had,but this doesnt have ninvomats so,,
its not as "sporty" as the S40(phase 2) with factory sports suspension (and it was LOW far lower than other s/v40s with std factory suspension,)
the 940 was a lot less affected by crosswinds than the V50 is, but i wouldnt say the V50 is a "blown all over the motorway" , the body seems to roll a bit when the cross wind hits it but tracks true with very little if any "wind sheer effect" (or it wasnt windy enough to find out
)
