Rover 100 Hatchback 1.1i Knightsbridge 3d (1996/N) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Pick up a newish one for around £1000-£1500.
Costs
Max tank fill-up of £18 takes you miles!

On the road
Driving
No fancy bits - window winders, manual steering... proper car.
Performance
Light body means not much power is wasted. Will run out of steam when you hit 5th gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Just can't kill it!
Image
Looks good considering its age. The boot with seats down will swallow everything.
Comfort
Seats lacking in padding. Legroom available in front or back seats only - bit of a squeeze!

Security and Service
Security
What security? The only good thing is - not many people want to nick it :)
