1995 Rover - Austin 200 216 Coupe Tomcat review from UK and Ireland
"Coupe fun without losing your license"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New front discs (2 sets in 3 years).
Exhaust cat heat shield mount broken.
General comments?
The best fun per pound I know of. Enormous fun to throw around and an engine which begs to be revved.
Comfy, fairly commodious for a coupe and with a half-decent boot it is an engaging companion anywhere but on the motorway where its revviness and wind around the great T-bar roof make it tiresome.
Could use more power but the chassis is so well matched to the engine it's not really important.
