Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought it second hand, so second hand value is fantastic, but would never buy brand new, because of the horric residuals!
Costs
2.5 does around 29 MPG (combined) pretty good I suppose for a large car.

On the road
Driving
Easy to handle for such a big car. Fast - the 175 BHP 2.5 KV6 offers refined and superb pace
Performance
Creamy pace, 2.5 V6 sounds brilliant!

Living with it
Reliability
Had an oil leak from the gearbox, Rover tried to avoid us, because we wanted them to pay for it and, to be fair, they did. Nothing else wrong!
Image
People think it's a Jag XJ (not a cheapo X-Type!!), Rover name puts some people off, but just look at it - it's beautiful! You could easily mistake it for a mini Bentley Arrange!
Comfort
Most comfortable car i've driven (and been driven in) - and i've been in Jags, Mercs and a Bentley Turbo!

Security and Service
Security
Wouldn't know because i've never been broken into, but had to break into it once after my son left the keys in the boot! Even a Golf club wouldn't smash it, so we had to have a specialist come over and do it!
