Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Well cheap as chips you do get a lot for your money, but I would have to say spend another grand and buy something else, sorry Rover
Costs
It's ok on fuel as far as 2 liters go although if yours falls apart like mine has prepare for bills

On the road
Driving
One of 3 Rovers I own and by far the worst my M-reg Mondeo I had before drove far better
Performance
Nippy enough, handles ok, total yawn on wheels to be honest
-
Living with it
Reliability
My car has had more problems than someone in rehab. With 23,000 miles on the clock I can only assume the man in charge of build quality was asleep when mine went past him on the production line
Image
Well it looks older than my 85 year old Grandad and has about as much street cred as paisley
Comfort
Don't sit in the back if you are over 5'8 or perpare for head injurys everytime you go over a bump in the road

Security and Service
Security
Has all the factory stuff and no thief in their right mind would nick one anyway
