On the road
Driving
After a few modifications, uprated shocks, brakes, boot spoiler etc, exceptional.
Performance
Rover turbo bolts straight on giving 200bhp! Will now beat any GTi on the road.

Living with it
Reliability
35k this year and still pleased!
Image
Who cares? With 200bhp under the hood, they can't catch you anyway.
Comfort
No problems there.

Security and Service
Security
Upgraded from Rover security because of the modifications.
Service
Ok for most things, but a little conservative in their ideas.
