Living with it
Reliability
Transmission oil leak. Out of warranty and Rover didn't want to know!

People mistake it for an XJ. Rover image could be down after their unfortunate collapse in early May 2005.
Comfort
Bentley comfort for Rover money!

Security and Service
Security
My son once locked the car keys in the boot whilst the car was locked! Took about 5 people at the golf club to help me in! We had to smash the window with a golf club to get in! Fantastic!
Service
Like I said - Rover didn't really want to know about the problem with the transmisson oil leak. However, after I wrote a letter they agreed to pay the £400 back to me!
