Default poor steering, what's normal?

Does anyone have any problems with the steering on the V70? I have a 4yr old car and the steering on it is very poor. Prior to this I was driving an old 240..and it could turn on a dime...but the v70 takes me forever to get round tight bends and multistorey car parks with tight turning are just not even ventured. Is this normal for the V70? Can anyone advise?

That is normal due to it being Front Wheel Drive.

I noticed the same thing when I went from 760's to 850's. The 760's had a really tight turning radius, and the FWD cars simply don't.
