1994 Rover - Austin 200 214 Si review from UK and Ireland
"Good fun car which surprises you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator has gone several times.
The boot lock has stopped working.
The driver seat has locked in its position.
General comments?
For what this car is it is a very enjoyable car. Although it is only a 1.4 liter k-series engine in has good acceleration and is a very torquey car (for its size). I have fitted a racing air filter to it which makes it sound beautiful. I honestly do not hear many cars that sound better then mine. The interior is nice and the seating position is low, but I do find some of the plastics inside the car a bit fragile. I have also had to repair my roof as the material came off and was hanging in my car. My only major complaint is that the power steering is very light which although makes it good for parking, it makes it too light for driving fast as you cannot feel the road very well... oh and the remote control is not very powerful.
