Rover Mini Saloon 1300 1.3i 2d (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value, for a SECOND car. Not so great nowadays.
Costs
Cheap, fairly reliable but rust prone and a bit dodgy really.
-
On the road
Driving
Fantastic handling, like no other car. Beats a Focus or 3-Series any day in the fun factor.
Performance
Wheezy and old 1.3 engine harsh and tired.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Not bad but could be better. A bit dodgy now compared to a VW Polo
Image
The tops to be seen in. One of these is the best.
Comfort
Comfy seats lacking headrests but this was built for money saving not comfort so it won't score highly.

Security and Service
Security
No central locking and poor alarm/immobiliser.
