    Average for the class of car.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    From new they were very quick off the mark, but over time they tend to lose the edge yet remain high up there with later models.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very reliable. Have only ever had 1 reliability problem and that was the battery.

    Like other 600s, the lines are nice and the interior on the 623 is higher class than normal (leather throughout). Doesn't look too aged in style even after 8 years.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nice driving position for the taller or shorter person. Adjustable steering and seats allows for many different combinations.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    In-built immobiliser and horn alarm factory standard. Would have expected even in '94 to have sensors inside.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Over time they have addressed issues with service levels and they have improved but, early on, the dealership we purchased the car from seemed a little unprofessional.

    Replaced due to Rover error (dropped metal in cylinder during service; replace plugs).

    Driver's side window mechanism (mechanical) bent through use and needed replacing. No other issues.
