1997 Rover - Austin 200 218 VVC Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"High performance and luxury without the high price tag"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only things so far are that the glass section on one of the wing mirrors has come loose and a few of the bars on the rear screen heater don't seem to work, but nothing major.
General comments?
Excellent mix of performance and economy. If all you want is to drive around town at 30mph, not a problem, but show the car a clear B road and there is no doubt you'll be smiling from ear to ear. With more than enough grunt for overtaking and with all the toys inside a comfortable, well put together cabin these cars are very under-rated!
