Good drive when i first got the car, then i felt like everytime i took it out something was going to go wrong.
Performance
I upgraded the air filter and exhaust system which added a bit opf power, but the car still lacked alot.

Living with it
Reliability
Headgasket went, Digital clock was unreadable, faulty realay in Windscreen wipers, central locking fob failed,
Image
Looks good with Alloys, anything more and just looks like a cheap copy of the MG ZR (God knows why you'd want to copy it?). Keep an extra jumper in the car for those long cold waits for the AA to tow you home.
Comfort
Comfy seats and nice steering wheel.
-
Security and Service
Security
Although it had an alarm fitted it still managed to get broken into twice. the second time they actually ripped part of the bumper of to disconnect the alarm wiring which Rover put in a stupid place just behind the farside front wheel.
Service
Don't know if it was, because i'm young but everytime i went into Rover they always spoke down to me and were very rude.
