Hi,

The Volvos of that era were built to last and Average life was up to 27 years.
Many people in the UK are still happily driving them around, and when VOC members get their hads on them, fix 'em up for more years service..
Given reasonqable care and attention, they keep going. And going..

Taurus? Can't have been that great as it didn't manage to get across the water.
The words ford and quality don't, in my mind, go together.
But a straight choice between a Volvo and a Ford? I'll go Volvo every time.
Especially the pre ford Volvos.. Thats anything RWD.. :o)

Get the Volvo... Nuff said...
