1996 Rover - Austin 400 SLi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Combined clock/stereo display malfunctioned at approx 60000 miles, showing incomplete digits.
Replaced rear trailing arm bushes at 66000 miles.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned.
It has been supremely reliable, and never let me down.
Being automatic, it has the Honda engine and gearbox, which have never been any problem - legendary Honda reliability.
It is very comfortable and easy to drive, with a good turn of speed when required.
It is also a very well equipped car in SL trim, with ABS, twin air bags, electric windows front and rear, electric tilt & slide sunroof, electric heated mirrors, 6 speaker RDS radio cassette with CD changer functionality, front fog lights, centre rear armrest,3 point centre rear seat belt, mock wood trim and an enormous boot.
