On the road
Driving
A real driver's car. Very responsive.
Performance
Brilliant! T16 is fast and refined. The Vitesse is definitely the star of the range.

Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down.
Image
In black, with 17" Alloys and lowered - a real head turner. The amount of attention it gets from 18+ is fantastic. I'm 20 and its a big hit with my mates - and their mates...
Comfort
Uprated the springs and with gas shocks its much more comfortable but with less body roll. The Recaro seats are comfortable but hold you in place round those tight turns!

Security and Service
Security
Not bad - added a Thatcham Cat2 immobiliser to be on the safe side. Alarm seems pretty responsive and reliable.
Service
When I have used Rover they have been very helpful and the work done to a good standard. A bit expensive.
