As long as its got a bucket seat, decent diff, and isnt actually broken, good cars dont help you learn IMO, just makes you look better when you suck.

And that Volvo is better than most cars, steering was fine too.

And it never the car, ever IMO. People always blame the car, tho ive seen people in almost stock GLSIs smoke it up in 3rd in the dry thru multiple transitions etc.
