  • Economy

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Mine was nearly £30K new & I paid £4K 5yrs down the line.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Insurance group 17 (thieving gypsies), running costs, average for a car of this size.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bit of a lump, but goes where you point it. Can suffer from oversteer in the wet.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    200bhp always nice, but adequately controlled by its size.

  • Living with it

    Puff Daddy doesn't have one, but I've only had good comments.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    After I've run it into the ground, I plan to use the seats in a hairdressers.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Additional immobiliser installed, total closure as standard. I think kids are frightened of it.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rover dealers have exquisite levels of ignorance, especially for a discontinued model...and their coffee machine is out of sugar.
