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.
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.
I have driven a Golf GTi, and other more recent versions of cars by that manufacturer, and could not possibly compare the spartan, noisier, interior of a VW (OK cars though they unquestionably are) to the sumptuous levels of comfort - and virtually inaudible noise levels of the Rover 75. I have only owned one Rover 75 so far... I will certainly own another!
I have owned a 20L CDT Rover 75 and would buy another. Mine too was sluggish when I first bought it. There is an air filter/sensor that required replacing near the front bumper and, once changed, ensured the engine moved swiftly. Perhaps the reviewer on this thread has/had the same problem?
I'm currently looking to purchase my second 75 :)
