Ok so far!
Comfort
Excellent. Like a limo!

Security and Service
Security
Good.
Service
Service not cheap at Rover. They always find something wrong, meaning you end up paying at least £400 each time. Try a different garage. Non-dealer on perhaps.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
New cambelts on V6 cost £500 plus! Lucky it's only every 96k miles.
Other
They may be cheap, but as a 25k car new, expect to pay large bills if anything goes wrong. Other than that, get value.
Ownership
Did you buy the car new?
Used
Would you buy the same model again?

Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?
Yes
