trust me the early 340 & 400 series cars were not high quality....

they leaked badly, the engiens were a nightmare (renault turbo)..the rear drive on the 300 had rubber donuts that snap to leave the driveshaft wobbling around....

and the early s40 was a charisma, even the brake disks and clutch pack is the same...

the later one is (i believe) common componanted with the ford focus...

for an interesting view on relative reliability have a look at:-

www.reliabilityindex.co.uk

u do have to bear in mind the ages of relative models however...
