1989 Rover - Austin 200 214si review from UK and Ireland
"I enjoy driving it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few problems. It has a rusty sub frame and comments are made every year at the MOT, but it always passes.
Parcel shelf has always rattled!
General comments?
Drives well. Good handling, excellent acceleration, loves speed, exiting to drive.
Brakes are excellent.
Heavy on steering. Needs the right tires and slightly over pressure on front.
Comfortable, very practical.
