Value

Good spec for the money.

Costs

Good on petrol, though too early to tell.

Driving

5 out of 5

Nice drive.

Performance

5 out of 5

Probably the fastest 1.4 in its size and year.

Reliability

4 out of 5

Cam belt just snapped. Only driven 200 miles since purchase. 6 weeks old and garage says it is not their problem. Private repair £4-500, Rover repair £1000+.

A bit flat cap and pipe. Drove past a retirement village car park and there were three 214s there. Oh no.

Comfort

5 out of 5

Very good. Half leather.

Security

Found out on the net how to disable the security system without setting off the alarm.

Service

4 out of 5

Expensive, but honest. They told me to get it done privately, as it would be a lot cheaper.
