Economy
Value
Poor value for money if you are hoping for good residual value but otherwise a performance packet for little money second-hand.
Costs
It's a bit dishonest to give it a 2 but unless you are covered by a comprehensive warranty it can cost you dearly.

On the road
Driving
Strong straight line ability but choppy in corners. Suggest you do what I did: get the suspension sorted. Drop the car by no more than 30mm and uprate the shocks.
Performance
Not bad - and I went from a 944 S2 to the Rover. Is capable of 145 mph.

Living with it
Reliability
Not too good! Everything went wrong!
Image
Not a bad Q-car.
Comfort
Reasonable.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm went wrong, so when the window was left open... no security!
Service
Required throwing toys out of the pram, but I did eventually get my own way. Would not rate Epsom Motor Group!
