Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Mostly comfortable, had issues with my knee on one long drive due to seat position. Quite flexible for a mid '90s car. Acceleration is pretty stunning and surprising as after all it is a Rover.
What's it like to park?
Total pain - it's like parking a tank, visibility is awful. You do get used to it but I'd always aim for the biggest easiest space. As a automatic there obviously no stalling worries.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Nothing yet, but it feels like it's on its last legs.
What's most practical about your car?
Size, huge boot - but because it's a saloon the wheel arches cause issues. For the size you'd be better off with an estate if you carry long loads.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Erm, it's 16 years old here aren't any.
