Rover 200 Cabriolet 216 2d (1996/P) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
For a 4-seater drop-top car, good value.
Costs
Average for a 1600.
-
On the road
Driving
Rifle bolt precise gear change, but blancmange-like shake over bumps due to less rigidity of the body shell - to be expected in a drop top.
Performance
About 115bhp with a 9.7 secs 0-60.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very good if serviced regularly.
Image
Cool car, but with colour go for Tahiti blue, British Racing Green or Nightfire Red.
Comfort
Bucket seats hold you in on cornering. No lumber support, so not good for people with back problems.

Security and Service
Security
Manafacturer's immobiliser, but fit a Cobra or similar to give additional security.
Service
Servicing parts no problem.
