2002 Rover - Austin 75 Tourer Classic SE review from UK and Ireland
"Still an old man car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch at 7000 miles started slipping and completely failed a few miles later.
Boot does not always open as it should.
Few cosmetic things falling off/breaking.
General comments?
3000 revs at 90mph - so cruising is very comfortable.
Bad on diesel usually 36/37mpg best I've had is 40mpg driving pretty carefully, stated figure is about 50 - total lies.
A 1984 golf gti did better on petrol for me - and what a performance difference!
Lazy engine annoying lag for it to get going (diesel) - poor performance becomes frustrating.
You could imagine this was a hearse.
Pretty good load space.
