2000 Rover - Austin 25 Li review from UK and Ireland
"A very good car which belies the past reputation of Rover cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's door pull broke.
General comments?
The car is excellent in virtually every respect.
It handles well, though the suspension is a touch on the firm side.
Performance is adequate rather than exciting.
Economy is excellent and I normally achieve 46 miles per gallon in (mainly) town driving.
Reliability is first class as is my wife's identical car.
The car has a good, solid feel to it and one feels safe at all times.
