Rover 800 Coupe 820 Vitesse 2d (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
£4k for a 1 owner, low milage, FSH, 4 year old car that's nearly £30k new says it all.
Costs
About average, I'd say at 22mpg.

On the road
Driving
Slight turbo lag. Good handling. Very good brakes. Slight understeer when pushed hard. Needs respect in wet conditions.
Performance
Surprisingly fast. It would take an expensive sports car to show it up. Cruises up motorways. Capable of 150mph.

Reliability
No problems.
Image
Coupe looks nice with full cream leather. Bit of an old man's car.
Comfort
Better than my bed.
