"Superb bargain at 400ukp for a very robust and reliable car, but poor high speed dynamics"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The boot shock absorbers have broken so the boot needs to be propped open with a stick.

Heated seats broke.

General comments?

A LOT of vibrating at speeds over 65 mph. Top speed of under 100 mph.

Very very quick acceleration 0-60 for such an old car.

Engine hums sweetly.

Seats are very comfortable.

You feel extremely safe inside.

Rear end is prone to tail-sliding especially on damp roads.

Hello

I've just bought a 340 too, it also had really bad vibration between 60mph and 70mph - so I got all the wheels balanced and aligned (£20) - its perfect now, feels much more stable too. I suggest you do this, well worth it.
