Economy
Value
Try buying anything else the same age with the same perfomance for the same money what can I say
Costs
Good on the old fuel, cheap enough for parts only thing that costs a bit are tyres due to the size
-
On the road
Driving
Handles like a go-cart and hits the old 60mph rather quick!
Performance
Well after 7 months of owning one it still puts a smile on my face and shocks a lot at the traffic lights

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from the cylinder head popping at 55,000 miles (chich they all do) its been a reliable car. Always starts stops and drives well. Luckily I had a warranty to cover my cylinder head, if you dont be prepared for a £500 bill at your local Rover dealer
Image
Well mine looks like a ZR amd blows all the little 1.4 ZR boyracers off the road, so image yes, it has one
Comfort
Never found mine to be anything other than comfortable ok its not got Beemer 7 series seats, but it does the job and never come out of the car in pain or anything like that even after long journeys

Security and Service
Security
It has an alarm, immobiliser and locking wheel nuts what else do you need. If someones going to nick it they will!
Service
My local Rover dealer have been polite and helpful, but not the quickest!
