1997 Rover - Austin 400 400i review from UK and Ireland
"An affordable alternative to a Jaguar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had the starter motor and battery replaced within 4 weeks. Also the driver's side window was vibrating, I hope all these problems have been resolved now.
General comments?
This is a wonderful car to drive, it is very comfortable and I love being inside this car. It is a shame I have had problems with it, but I hope these have been rectified. I like this car enough to put the problems behind me and I would advise anyone to try this car before buying another make.
