    Could be even more miserly on the gravy if Rover had fitted a taller 5th gear (its got the torque to take it).

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Suprisingly good given the model's venerability.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Small car, 100 BHP, good off the line and great mid-range overtaking ability.
