2000 Rover - Austin 75 Club SE review from UK and Ireland
"Forget the Vectra, buy one of these for 10 grand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust rattle, paintwork finish not brilliant, that's it.
General comments?
This is the car for anyone doing high miles, it's so cheap to buy & run for its class.
On the motorway it will do 40MPG, the annual Rover service is about £200, business class insurance £350.
Torquey rather than quick, will pull in 5th from 1000 RPM.
Very comfortable to drive, I'm 6'6" tall and have no problems.
This is how a Rover should be, it's like the 1976 V8 P6 Rover I used to have.
