Rover 600 620 Si 4d (2003/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought for £1600 for an N-reg with 61,000 miles on the clock. That is pretty good!
Costs
Average for 2.0-litre. Parts are average. No better, no worse, but it is a Honda engine, so I suspect it will work out very good on costs.

On the road
Driving
Ride is a little lumpy on poorish roads. The grip is very good and you can take corners with confidence. Steering is very light, but you get used to it very quickly.
Performance
This engine is very eager. Liken it to a bucking bronco that wants to run.

Living with it
Reliability
Haven't had the car long, but you can tell the engine is quality and the car is well built. Parts look well made.
Image
I think they look very smart. They age well. This is my opinion of course.
Comfort
Rear legroom isn't the best, but ok. Seats are comfy and very supportive and the light beige interior looks good and is a nice driving environment. Engine is a bit noisy when cold, but better when hot.

Security and Service
Security
Remote central locking works fine and alarm works as I set it off to test it. Haven't had any trouble.
Service
Haven't used one. Do all minor service actions myself and will probably go to a trustworthy independant.
