New front tyres due to quick wear (about 9000 miles on the front)
Super fast car.
Excellent interior with red leather, matching carpets and lots of aluminium instead of usual Rover wood.
Very fast from 4000rpm up to 7000rpm, easy to drive around town below 4000rpm then takes off!
Only 143bhp. not quick at all.
Compared with what?
Lemme guess, a Subaru WRX? Clio 182? Triumph Daytona 995i?
Sweeping statements are so easy to pick apart...
Just because a car only has 143bhp that doesn't mean that it can't be fast... There is more to the performance of a car then just bhp. Torque, delivery and handling all play a big part.
