The Haldex system isn't that bad. Ok for pure fun, you won’t get your turn on’s here, since the Haldex system in combination with a front mounted engine can't give you nice controllable oversteer, certainly since it's tuned on Volvo's R-models so the car will understeer when accelerating out of a corner.
But that doesn't mean those Haldex drive systems are rubbish. Their management is quite advanced, definitely on the Volvo R-models, were it counts in a shitload of parameters. But they just don't react as natural as a true 4WD system with central differential.
