Steering stiff (doesn't feel like power steering). Also feels difficult to control over uneven road surfaces or when braking hard.
Performance
Takes too long to pick up speed when starting-unless already cruising.

Living with it
Reliability
Unsure - have only just bought it (though have had to have new suspension parts fitted already).

Looks good inside and out.

Okay if you're not too tall. Limited room in back also.

Security and Service
Security
Seems okay.
Service
Rover dealer have tried to find out what's wrong with the steering, but as it's intermittent they are not sure. Going back to test drive it with the foreman in couple of days. Not happy that they can't as yet sort it out.
