Although that is a Volvo 300 series that he crashes on purpose, i still think Clarkson is a brilliant man the way he picks on cars.
That countach is good looking, and really special, but i believe him to his word that is runs like crap.

You may be missing the point.
I think we love our 340/360's because one of it's charms is that it's a bad car!
Clarkson is a prat but an entertaining one and what he has to say about thr 300, to us lot, means nothing.
Look at that iconic British classic the Mini. Crap!

It's basic, slow, poorly put together and therefore commands a massive following. The Volvo 300 is more or less the same.
I love mine!
We however must keep this to ourselfs. Why?. Well because crap cars have a knack of becoming classics and therefore expensive. Look at the Mini.

Haha, I also remember him describing the Volvo 340 as 'the worst car ever built' I still love watching Top Gear though.
TBH by the time a 300 is a few years old and all the suspension gets a bit worn, it starts feeling sloppy and hopeless.
The steering play was probably the rubber doo-dah worn on the steering column

The worlds best kept secret
Yeah true about the truck and it less of a mess than some of the cars that have had minor accidents on that site
