Rover 75 Saloon (1999 - 2004) 2.0 V6 Connoisseur 4d Auto (1999/V) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Wannabe upperclass. Want the look but can't afford it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Made them think I was loaded. Those who knew about cars advised I get shot of it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Never in a million years. Depreciation is terrible, and the value for money at first glance it not so!! The car looks big outside, but is tiny inside. Me and my wife are average height and skinny. I read a report saying it was favoured among women executives when first launched...NOT MEN. For 2v V6 engine, all the power must spent on charging the battery, there's more power in a kia picanto!!
