On the road
Driving
Aftermarket poly bushes and anti-torque steer bushes transform the handling, but still needs careful driving.
Performance
200 bhp standard upgradable to 245 bhp for little money. Rover's best kept performance secret.

Living with it
Reliability
Previous owner neglected mine so I've had a few problems.
Image
Looks great, but as Rover's best kept secret, people just aren't aware of its capabilities.
Comfort
Full Cream leather and air-conditioning make the interior a very nice place to be.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm and immobiliser are OK, but you'll need additional Thatcham approved stuff.
