Rover 400 Hatchback 420 D 5d (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Got all mod cons - sun roof included for reasonable price.
Costs
Apart from the tax since it's got a bigger engine, it's not cost me anything. Done a good lot of miles and only had a couple light bulbs to change. Even the insurance was very reasonable.

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable - great in town and very reliable doing long distance.
Performance
Holds the road really nicely.

Living with it
Reliability
always starts, never stops unless i tell it too, does exactly what speed i tell it too and goes round bends without tipping over :-)
Image
size matters - a metallic colour paint might suit the car better but it looks nice. a lot bigger than my last car but it soon grew on me and suited what i wanted.
Comfort
I'm well qualified to give it a good rating since I do lots of long distance driving.

Security and Service
Security
Fitted alarm system that works - I've managed to set it off once.
Service
no manuel with the used car so the manufacturers were able to tell me anything i wanted to know.
