Rover 200 Hatchback 1989-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Unbelievable car for the money. There is no better package for under £1200.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rover's own parts (immobiliser) expensive. Fuel economy average round town.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rolls a bit. A little clunky over bumps. Very light steering, but generally smooth all round.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quick off the line and midrange pick-up in third/fourth is impressive.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bulletproof. No problems.

    No attention from Police or thieves - that makes it cool to me. Chrome grill is a must.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very Rover interior. Compare it to an equivalent Golf!
