Rover 25 1.4 iS (103ps) 3d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good, as long as you haggle them down, but depreciation is not the best. Equipment is OK, and seems to be better since I bought my car (typical, eh?).
Costs
Good economy (38 mpg), three-years free servicing, cheap insurance - at least it was until I had to make a claim.

On the road
Driving
I'm no Schumacher, but it feels pretty good to me - no nasty shocks and always feels stable.
Performance
Fairly nippy in town, but could do with some more overtaking power on faster roads. Also, I always seem to have to change down on an uphill.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far...
Image
Seems to have a 'slippers and pipe' image, but I love the look of the car - and at the end of the day, I'm the one who has to live with it...
Comfort
Seats a little firm on the longer journeys. The ride can also be a little firm, and can be a little noisy on the motorways. No complains about the amount of space.

Security and Service
Security
It's still outside....
Service
I've had few dealings with the dealership, apart from regular servicing, but they have always been polite and efficient.
