1995 Rover - Austin 400 416 Automatic review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, reliable, comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust rusted at 66000 miles.
General comments?
For it's second hand price,£600 I paid, it was the best car I've ever been driving.
Reasonable to run, £10 for 120 miles. On the highway, when speed hits to 90mph I used to fell all noise inside.
Also corner handling wasn't so good. I remember some scary moment with my car even if I'm not a fast driver.
It's quite spacious in the car, even if it doesn't drive perfect, it's really so comfortable if you don't drive in high speeds.
Wind screen is larger than usual and I think that's the best part of the car. You see the road and front of the car so clearly. Specially for new drivers, it's so helpful to drive in the city.
Interior is simple and clean, nothing to be confused of, seats are large enough, there's also enough leg space in front and back seats.
If you're looking for a cheap, reliable, comfortable car, I think this is one of the best you can find.
