1997 Rover - Austin 400 i review from UK and Ireland
"The bargain luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power steering fluid started to drop.
The right headlight bulb blew.
General comments?
The Rover 400 is so understated it's practically invisible.
Also it has been very comfortable, reliable and cheap to run.
My car is British Racing Green, which I think is the best colour.
The interior is well built and spacious, fitting in four passengers and their shopping last Christmas.
