I learned to drive in a swing-axle 1960 Corvair and my 68 type III was as
roadworthy as any of my later IRS VWs. Of course there is a break loose
point on any road, but I never found the IRS to be better than the swing
axle. I owned one of each at the same time for about 5 years and never
noticed any difference. But then I love spinning mine around in parking
lots anyway.
You might find that tires had a lot to do with your experience.
