I imagine the Volvo is a well-balanced car. So, torque steer may not be a problem although wheel spin might still be. Even our 3.3 Sonata at 235hp tends to spin its wheels (especially when my wife is driving) because much of the torque is at the lower power band. But, torque steer is non-existent.
The 160hp Mazda3 I test drove seemed well-balanced. Of course, it was hard to push the car really hard because the dealer was sitting next to me. So I wasn't able to play with the tires. But, we're talking about Mazda here. Most of their designs seemed well-thought out. If torque steer is a problem with the MazdaSpeed3, they would've made it AWD.

But once the car is moving, it's all zoom zoom. With a turbo... when that boost kicks in, it's more like WHOOOOSH! Feel the rush.

But what the heck, atleast you crashed in a Mazda 3, not some other car.
