Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
A lower end, not bad but start adding things then out price themselves.
Costs
So far warranty has covered faulty speedo and wheel trim problem. Didn't help having to buy new warranty for £141 to cover second year on road!

On the road
Driving
Good road handling, and very nippy round town.
Performance
Front blowers very poor. Heating never gets hot. Air-conditioning clicking very minute but apparently this is normal for a Rover! Not good in mornings.

Living with it
Reliability
It goes!
Image
Don't choose granite purple! Nice looking car otherwise.
Comfort
Very roomy car. Family of 5 fit comfortably. Foot peddles a nightmare. If wearing flat shoes/trainers your calves will get very sore very quickly. I have to rest my right foot onto my left foot when travelling more than 2 miles!

Security and Service
Security
Nightmare. Slightest wrong touch on key ring and alarm goes off. You have to click once for driver's door twice for all doors. You can't open boot without opening main door. Idle time means you have to press key again!
Service
Never believe anything you say - if it 'works' that's all that matters. It's performance doesn't bother them.
