1996 Rover - Austin 400 416SLi review from UK and Ireland
"A well-equipped family hatchback"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I had was a lose heat shield on the exhaust system, just beyond the cat. This was repaired at my local tyre and exhaust centre for £5.
General comments?
The car is extremely comfortable and the seats are supportive.
The ride is excellent and the car handles corners very well.
Equipment is generous with electric windows all round, electric mirrors and sunroof, remote central locking, power steering and twin airbags.
The gear-changes are smooth and faultless and the kickdown comes in at just the right moment.
The car feels much more modern than my previous one and should prove reliable, as it shares its engine and transmission with the Honda Civic. I am pleased with my choice of car.
