I have to agree that it is at least over priced for what you get.
The frame does have a lot to do with how the car feels, and it feels like a Mitsubishi. I think most die-hard Volvo drivers and others who drive European cars will agree that it does not feel like a true Volvo. It makes me nervous driving this car on road trips. It feels very light an loose. Not at all solid and stable like a true European car. Just listen to how the door shuts, sounds like a tin can, not a nice solid thud.
