Living with it
Reliability
Problems are minor, mainly with dodgy electrics on windows and remote locking.
Image
Looks better than other Rovers. Choose a good colour and keep it polished.
Comfort
Half leather recardo style seats are fantastic in a car of this price.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser alarm is standard. No one nicks these anymore.
Service
Ok, but a bit old to be very interested in drivers of this model anymore.
