1995 Rover - Austin 200 220 Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Underrated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dodgy courtesy light switch.
Oil leak (I've learnt to live with it).
General comments?
Prone to power understeer which can be quite entertaining, especially in the wet. Average handling, could do with more grip, which explains the high tyre wear.
Nice interior, really comes alive above 4000 rpm. I still think that they are one of the best looking coupes on the road.
