Safe object to overtake.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My girlfriend says it is cute and cozy inside. Friends and neighbour don't notice this car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No I would not, because of fuel pump configurations in this car.

What are you likely to buy next?

VW Golf V GTI

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

June 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I have overpaid. Here, in my country, this car is more expensive.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was looking for a cheap diesel saloon for city driving. And this car looked fine for it's price.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Better handling than most reviews say, early tire scream and bodyroll when you dive into a corner, but still very confident at attacking corners.

What's it like to park?

Poor rear visibility. Needs time to get used to. Rather bad. Poor turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Every diesel Rover with L-series engine and electronic injection has this problem. Bosch VP37 fuel pump is a real headache... Expensive, unreliable, and most important - if it goes wrong, driving becomes impossible. Keep your fuel level to the top, otherwise, VP37 will make you hate your Rover. Also all electronic components of this fuel pump go wrong causing unability for a decent drive.

What's most practical about your car?

Roomy boot, well made trim.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Driver's seat. I am regular visitor of various car exhibitons, and after all modern cars with great ergonomy, i feel very comfy in Rover's drivers seat.
