Rover 200 Hatchback (89-96)

Value

4 out of 5

Plenty of car with good spec for low prices. Should be able to pick up a good 'un for £750.

Costs

1 out of 5

Drinks petrol around town. Honda engines expensive to service. Insurance steep for a car of this type (again, the Honda engine).

Driving

Enjoyable, but body rolls when cornering.

Performance

4 out of 5

Lively and faster than you think. Honda 16v engine has plenty of power.

Reliability

5 out of 5

It may be expensive, but that 16v Honda engine is bulletproof - 177k miles and it still runs as sweet as a nut.

It's an old Rover. You will never be able to live driving this down if you are under 50!

Comfort

4 out of 5

Comfy and supportive seats, fine on long journeys.
