Yes. If you have to ask, then you've never owned/driven one.

I'd take a grey 2-door E30 over either of your volvos.

Did he have an "i" or an "is" (kinda rare and only brought over for a couple of years) There is a great deal of difference. What Paul had was an "is". A DOHC 1.8 M42 engine in a 2600lb car. Not a traight line beast, but probably much more thrilling to drive than 3500lb+ Volvo.
