Driving
Nice car to drive, feels solid and compact.
Performance
For the price range that this car falls into, its performance shocked me slightly. It is quite a nippy little car - ideal around town.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had a problem... untill the head gasket blew! Since then it has gone twice + cost me nearly £1000. It is currently sat in a garage as I type and will be forced to scrap the car as I can now no longer afford to fix it. Anyone know a good srapyard?
Image
I personally like the car's appearance, although it does tend to appeal to the older generations somewhat.
Comfort
Rover tends to have a good reputation for comfort.
