Rover 25 (1999 - 2005) 1.4 i (84ps) 3d Owner Review

Good on fuel, and reasonably spacious inside. The boot is pretty enormous making the car very practical compared to others in its class. The car is built solidly, no rattles and is very refined and balanced on the motorway at higher speeds. The car is comfortable and the engine is pretty refined. The car builds speed reasonably well although does need revving quite a bit especially with passengers and uphill, but what tiny engine doesn't...? the car doesn't respond quickly to throttle inputs although it will accelerate confidently. The handling is pretty darn good and the car doesn't roll and it grips the road well. The car comes with a 6 speaker system although if you are looking for average sound quality you will need to upgrade this. WATCH THE HEAD GASKET, Rovers are notorious for this, water will need to be topped up on a regular basis. Overall if you are looking for a good cheap car to drive, good on fuel, cruises along nicely and has a nice bit of character then buy this one :)
