2000 Rover - Austin 25 IS review from UK and Ireland
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two weeks after we bought the car, it just wouldn't start. The engine/starter motor just wouldn't turn over. Dealership claimed someone had changed the HT leads. No problems since.
Seal on passenger window not fitted properly.
General comments?
The car handles great.
It looks good when clean and polished. Alloys are fantastic.
Respectable mpg.
However the dash rattles and squeaks when car is driven at higher speeds.
The polished wood effect on parts of dash is very dated.
Overall has been a fantastic car so far.
