Poor road noise. Brakes not the sharpest ever used. Cornering not precise, but OK for four-door family car I suppose.

Living with it
Image
Rover - nuff said. Personally, I know how quick it is and others do once you pull away from them - who cares about the Rover badge!
Comfort
Driving position good if you lower the seat right down. Road noise could be quieter, but at least the steering gives good feedback.
-
Security and Service
Security
No problems.
Service
No real problems. Servicing OK, however warranty company would not pay for head gasket work as this is apparently "a manufacturer fault with the Rover built engine".
