1997 Rover - Austin 400 SLi review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump.
General comments?
Super car, it went like the clappers, comfortable, and very, very reliable.
Some areas were of cheap plastic (coin holder drawer), and doors seemed a bit 'tinny' when closing, but apart from that, I was very pleased with it.
If Rover hadn't gone belly up, I would have bought another - perhaps more British people should have supported their own countries efforts instead of buying foreign!
