Rover 600 620i 4d (2001/X) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I bought it for £400 pounds 20 months ago. Good price then, but new MG saloons have increased depreation. A lot of car for the money.
Costs
Insurance is high (I'm 19 now and got the car when I was 17). Uses a lot of petrol when pushed. Overall, not too bad.

On the road
Driving
Nice motorway car. Likes being thrown round bends on Yorkshire's roads. Can be unsteady if pushed too far. Good brakes. 70 - 0 mph in about 60 mtetres.
Performance
0-60mph in ten seconds is very fast for a 17 year old. Beats Novas and Corsas - much to their baseball capped drivers' digust. Had over 130mph out of it - seriously, and have done it twice!

Living with it
Reliability
Other than routine, nothing has gone wrong (touch wood).
Image
Lovely shape and looks big - not an obvious choice for anyone under 50 (my dad has one), but people look when a young person gets in or out of a car of this size.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Rear seats are nice, much better than a new, low spec VW Passat. Has been on some long journeys and has been comfortable all the way.

Service
Rover parts are expensive. Use Honda parts where appropriate.
