I've not driven an AWD Volvo, but having once observed one reversing, on
full lock, on gravel, I don't think I'd want to. The inside rear wheel
of this car was spinning about half a revolution, about twice a second,
throwing loose gravel all over the place. The car was making extremely
slow progress.
Rest assured that the Torsen system in an Audi quattro will behave much
better. I drive an Audi RS6 (450bhp) and I've never been aware of any
wheel spinning in any circumstances. I can floor the throttle on a wet,
greasy, road and the car just launches forward with great gusto.

If you do get the 1.8turbo save yourself some headaches and change the oil
every 3-4thousand miles.
