So far, so good. Starts first time, every time.
Image
From the side it looks like a BMW, from the front a Rover 400, from the back… not sure at all! It is a completely confused looking motor.
Comfort
Bit disappointed with an executive car having a 400 series interior, not much leg room in the back but a huge boot and loads of leg room in the front. Just a basic dashboard.

Security and Service
Security
Part of my problem was that I needed a remap of the ECU due to the codes being out of sync. Not even the AA man could start it. It's bullet proof!
Service
Rover? Who are they then?

Problems
Engine
Very good, Honda engines are supposed to be better then the earlier Rover ones.
Other
DON'T BUY ONE WITHOUT THE RED MASTER KEY, car is worthless as this is needed to reprogram new keys if you loose them, without it, it can costs close to £700 to put right as it would need a new ECU, door locks, keys and remap. (no red key on earlier mods).
