1994 Rover - Austin 200 214SLi review from UK and Ireland
"A cracking first car, fast and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator belt snapped taking the power steering belt with it.
That's about it!
Oh and the clutch went.
General comments?
Got this as a first car, when I was 17.
Paid a lot for insurance (£1700) but a great first car.
Quick (well for a 1.4!) and comfortable, and had a fantastic load carrying ability, with could take 4 of my mates in comfort.
Never missed a beat apart from the usual maintenance.
Handling was a good laugh, you could throw it into corners with gay abandon.
Even the police were surprised at the speed of if (but that's another story!)
Once I put some Yokohama A539 tyres on it, it just gripped through the corners.
Now sold to my brother as I now have a 220 Turbo Coupe!
