1995 Rover - Austin 200 214 SLi review from UK and Ireland
"An underrated bargain - economical and not slow!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket recently went, bit of a bummer as I had only just bought the car - an independant garage fixed it but didn't tighten up the radiator hoses very well so had some coolant leaks - as a result check the levels very frequently because I don't trust it. When it comes down to it, just the head gasket.
General comments?
Great little car - where else can you get a nippy, economical, not bad looking, practical, and also quite fun car for 3 grand??
Okay, not the last word in comfort or looks, but I get about 38-40mpg when driving in town, and it has a 0-60 that will put some much bigger cars to shame (BMW 318, Cavalier 1.8) at just over 10 secs.
Loaded down with kit too - pick of the range would be the SEi with alloys and leather seats!
