Living with it
Reliability
Niggly drivers window and grindy reverse gear, otherwise no problems.
Image
Seen as an old mans car, but with alloys and metallic paint, plus plenty of gadgets, this car can be very desirable, although the missus calls it a hearse.
Comfort
Good, lumbar support on drivers seat, plenty of legroom front and rear.

Security and Service
Security
Decent alarm as standard, don't lock it with windows open, alarm sounds soon after.
Service
Never went to rover cause I'm not stupid, better and cheaper to go to reliable mechanic.
