1994 Rover - Austin 200 214 SEi review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. It had and still has a full service history from new.
General comments?
What a fantastic car, 1/2 leather seats, full electrics, 0-60 in under 9 seconds, 103 BHP and all the usual MG Rover refinements. The car is nice to drive, has a good driving position, is very responsive, holds the road reasuringly well and has a really nice gear shift. Only grumble was the standard sound system, but I replaced it with a Blaupunkt one.
The Rover K-series engines are truly amazing not only are they of all aluminium construction, but the 1.4 is the powerfullest normally aspirated production engine on the road. The engines run cleanly and sweetly and will go and go if looked after.
MG Rover deserve to be doing well.
