"Underrated and Undervalued"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The warning light for the boot being open kept coming on while driving when the boot was locked shut.

General comments?

I had this car for the total of one month as a hire car while my Ford Ka was in having the engine rebuilt.

I can honestly say that I was not impressed at all when I saw I was getting a Rover 45 but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Very very quick, excellent handling with communicative steering.

The Rover 45 has good ride quality and a big boot.

On the downside, rear visibility is very very poor and its hard to park.

The clutch on the car I had was dreadful and very juddery.

Finally, the indicator switches felt like they were going to come off in my hand.

However, I would recommend this car, its good looking, fast, with lots of space (in the front). Highly recommended.

Try mg 180 version. 2.5l. feels totally different.
