1999 Rover - Austin 200 Vi review from UK and Ireland
"Understated high performance hatch with a fantastic engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has yet gone wrong but there again I had only had it two and half weeks when an old age pensioner decided to use it as a brake at a roundabout. Fortunately it is repairable!
General comments?
This Rover is indeed an unassuming hot hatch. Looks quite mild mannered but with 0-60 in 7.5 secs, leather interior and neat 130mph top speed it really is a joy to drive. The ride is firm but not uncomfortable and the handling is great.
