2000 Rover - Austin 25 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"High performance Bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head Gasket went at 76,000 miles.
Rattling dash.
Strange unsolvable idling problem.
Electric mirrors replaced.
Rear windscreen exploded.
Air conditioning fans replaced.
Many bulbs.
General comments?
The car is very quick.
The car is very rare.
Looks good.
But the tyres are expensive at £102 each.
Insurance is a nightmare for a 21 year old.
But well worth it.
