Heavy on petrol on short trips, dealer parts expensive and not always the best quality.

Driving
Great long distance fast car, improved greatly by fitting of uprated and lowered suspension springs.
Performance
This is a very fast family saloon, will outrun all but the fastest hot hatches much to their dismay, after all it's a Rover!

Living with it
Reliability
Owned the car for a year now only been let down once, the ignition coil packed in.
Image
620 generally perceived as an old man's car, the turbo model lays this myth to rest.
Comfort
Comfortable for both short and long journeys, road noise can be a bit intrusive, dependant on choice of tyres. Front headroom can be restrictive for the six footers and over.

Security and Service
Service
Local dealer is dreadful, mention 620 turbo and they assume diesel. Parts are expensive and the local dealer has the knack of ordering the wrong parts, no stock held so I always have a 2-3 day wait.
