1999 Rover - Austin 200 sli review from UK and Ireland

Problems with passenger side rear wheel bearings, the car had been in a accident previously so it wasn't a manufactures error, Other than that nothing what so ever.

Wow what a great car, I bought my Rover 200sli crash damaged and was somewhat apprehensive about it being a automatic 5-door, as I'm only 18 I would have preferred something a little more sporty, but I couldn't help falling in love with the little Rover.

I was extremely surprised at the power of this tame looking automatic as I can get the wheels to spin right up into the 3rd gear!!!

I bought a full system exhaust including De-cat for it, but it sounded like a wet fart so I bought a k&n induction kit which really did make it roar! Because of this I have come to the conclusion that this car really is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The interior is in a creamy color and is quite difficult to keep clean, footprints and grubby finger marks stand out like a sore thumb so buy a decent foam cleaner if your car has this interior.

The standard rover sound system is left to be desired, but can be easily rectified by purchasing a new head unit (CD-player) as most head units come with small amps inside them they make the set up a whole lot more bearable.

All in all this is the best car I've owned and I plan too keep it a long time! Well done Rover nice one.
