Rover 400 Hatchback 420 SDi 5d (1996/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Same as Honda civic and £2000 less for same year; because of the badge. Its only worth £900 now so probably wont lose any value for few years- bargain.
Costs
My dad had it six years , I've had it six months still fine. New exhaust pads etc very reliable, getting bit creaky now.

On the road
Driving
Great grip and safe handling. Accurate but not much fun and a bit wallowy when pushed.
Performance
Good mid range on the move very quick in 3rd, 4th and top end. Not very easy to drive quick.
