Rover on the outside puts most people off, but it's Honda underneath! Just keep on top of the rust and you'll be fine. Over 130,000 miles down and still fine...

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great on motorways except the steering feels way too light, but that's the japanese influence. All round disc brakes means in stops quickly. Always have the advantage of suprise over other drivers, most don't expect a rover to go over 60mph!
What's it like to park?
Well...its a big car, but I haven't hit anything yet! Light power steering is great in parking situations.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Flat battery - I left the headlights on!
What's most practical about your car?
You can fit anything is this boot! This car is huge! A great motorway cruiser and v.good economy (same as my last car 1.6 astra)
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Arm rest - makes motorway driving a doddle
