1999 Rover - Austin 200 214Si review from UK and Ireland
"A very capable and economic car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major as yet has gone wrong although the engine rattles on cold starts.
Rear brake cylinder leaked and required replacing.
Rocker gasket leaked and required replacing.
Dashboard rattles at about 2700rpm.
General comments?
This particular model has very good performance for a 1400cc.
Rear leg room is very cramped.
Very economical, always over 40mpg.
Shame alloy wheels not included in the Si specifications.
Very underrated.
