1994 Rover - Austin 200 214 SLi review from UK and Ireland
"Good for over 155,000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had a bad time between 130,000 and 135,000 miles when the head gasket, alternator and gearbox all went within weeks of each other.
Other than that, nothing.
General comments?
I would say to anyone who has a prejudice against the Rover brand, get over it.
This car was excellent.
How many other small engined hatchbacks can cover 155,000 miles and still look and sound like they have just left the factory.
I still see it quite a lot and it still doesn't chuck out any smoke.
