"to take" is future sense, "taking" is present sense.

You can say what ever you like on this forum , but if there's the slightest hint of an abnormality in your spelling or grammar you've had it, as I'm sure you've noticed

With reference to the forum title, I probably would, but it would depend on my particular requirements at the time. In other words, it depends on whether Volvo could provide a "best fit" or at least a "good enough fit" to those particular requirements. I also admit though that if there was something about a particular volvo type that was particularly attractive, that could cause me to "adjust" my requirements (unlikely though, I tell myself). But then the question is: How did I form those requirements in the first place? Volvo have to play the game and come up with the right sort of features (I won't mention spare wheels ).

I have just bought my 3rd Volvo...

Before this one I had the C30 T5 Manual (Happy owner for five years) and before that an S40 2.0 which I owned for three years.

So my shortlist of potential next car is, Ford Mondeo, Honda Accord or Volvo V70. Whatever I choose will be a petrol estate and the Mondeo has the edge at the moment simply because they are peanuts to buy

would deffor buy another in the future should I need to, already on Volvo number 4 now, had an early 440, then a facelift one then a 850 T5 and now a 384 S60, the missus loves the feeling of safety in them (more the 850 and S60) and I just love the amount of std features you get for your money.......oh and the sound of the 5 cylinder engine

Just don't forget - more often than not... If you pay peanuts you get monkeys!
