1996 Rover - Austin 400 420 SLi review from UK and Ireland
"Suits a family who like comfort, safety and speed (but not too fast)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
A good car, and with the alloys on it almost looks racey.
Quite fast (wish it was rear-wheel drive).
Well laid out interior.
On safety it scores well, with air-bags, discs all-round and side impact bars.
Some nice little touches e.g spoiler spots.
I've not read many bad things about the 420 SLi. And I have done a lot of reading before purchasing.
