-
Economy
Value
Paid £3500 6 months ago. Extremely competitive price for such a good car.
Costs
Cheap to run. Insurance costs a little high, but could have something to do with the fact that I am 19.

On the road
Driving
Easy to drive. Clutch and Gearbox are very forgiving.
Performance
Very good performance from a smallish engine. Lots of noise at high revs, though. Beats my old Rover 214.

Living with it
Reliability
Nothing gone wrong up to now. It did have a full service history when I bought it though, so I wouldn't have expected anything to go wrong.
Image
Rover still haven't got the image they deserve. The spoiler and alloys really set the look off though.
Comfort
Leather seats very comfortable. Suspension very good too. Can't feel a thing on the Pirelli P6000s.

Security and Service
Security
No attempts on theft as of yet, so with any luck... Could do with deadlocks.
Service
Had a service 3 months ago. Very competitive and a high standard of service was adhered to. Definetely use them again.
