Summary
What does this car say about you?
The 75 is not a car some one my age should drive, I was 17 when i first liked it, Brought one soon after turning 18, I've been told that the 75 suits me?,
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My mum loves my car, when she found out i was buying a new 75 she wanted my old one, but as that was all ready sold she could not have it, She has been looking at getting one for the last few months, Neighbours like the car and are shocked on how well the 75 compares to there cars, but the Rover name puts them off, but i did not buy this car because of what other people thought,
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes i would, as this is my 2nd 75, But time is moving on, and Mg will have to come back with a new class leader for me to buy another one, or i may look else where, but at the moment the 75 still makes me happy,
What are you likely to buy next?
Well other cars i like, Audi A6/8 BMW 3-series and 7

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Well its not a small car, Is not as light to drive as a Mondeo but that's not a bad thing by any means, On a motor way thats when the car comes to life, The 75 was made for the Motorway, Cant beat the car for its smooth ride, Really is fantastic, Even with the 17's she is still class leader,

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with her yet, But if she is any thing like my old 1.8 that i had to 140k then i wont need to worry,
What's most practical about your car?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Most Favourite gadget has to be the electric rear blind, At a touch of the button up it goes, This Blind was the deciding moment when viewing my first 75 3 years ago, Other than that the car has every thing and more than you find in a Mondeo, Passat etc,
