Summary
What does this car say about you?
I'm 25 so I'd say it says young family man doing well for himself. Public would say old man's car pipe 'n slippers.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Family think its a bargain for so much car. Friends love it too.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes I would but only a 618/620 since the 600 series is Honda-based and easy to get parts for.
What are you likely to buy next?
Rover 600 series or a diesel 75. Maybe a Jag or Mercedes but will try to stay loyal to Rover if I can.
