Rover 400 Saloon 1990-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Less than a grand for a one owner FSH car - can't complain about that.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    You do get to make friends at the petrol station, though; quite a thirsty car.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Impressive road holding for a saloon with such a staid image. Can be taken quite far before it bites back.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    0-60 in less than eight seconds. Annoy boy racers all day.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No real traumas. Sunroof sticks a bit and the paintwork seems to scratch easily.

    Image

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Seen as an old man's car. Getting fed up of free trilby hat jokes.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice. Rides well and is quite well appointed inside.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Alarmed and immobilised, but not really a magnet for thieves anyway.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Prefer to rely on cheaper specialists.
