Economy
Value
Bought 2nd hand, 17k miles, for £6,995 - not worth it.
Costs
Not bad. Middle and back sections of exhaust cost about £130.

On the road
Driving
Corners better than my previous Megane. I think the steering is heavy.
Performance
It is quite quick, but 5th gear is shocking and there is no power until 3500rpm in any gear other than 1st.

Living with it
Reliability
Gone through mid and back seciton of exhaust and watch that driving electric window.
Image
The exterior isn't too bad - not as nice as the MG ZR, but inside is FOD. Walnut dash, lovely.
Comfort
Firm ride, but comfy.

Security and Service
Security
Standard alarm didn't stop my Sony CD player from being nicked, but I still own the car. Who would wanna nick a Rover 25 anyway?
