    What does this car say about you?

    I don't buy new cars .. a bit of style with substance doesn't have to break the bank.

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

    They love it. My dad wants it & my son borrowed it to tow HIS caravan after his y reg galaxy blew.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    If they'd kept making them - yes. It looks good, didn't fail, I get my drum kit in it & it tows my caravan. This car is not why the Rover Car Co failed!!!!

    Don't know ... just might stay in bed. ?? (used) Audi A4, Mondeo? ... or a Montego estate with a Perkins diesel if a nice one turns up.

    What's it like to drive?

    I don't drive hard, so no power issues - it's got plenty for me ... A flexible 5th holds on decent hills even down to 30/35mph.... would have traded in for a a higher 5th to make it longer-legged on m/ways etc. Comfy
