2002 Rover - Austin 75 Connoisseur SE CDT review from UK and Ireland
"Exceptional value for money and a beautiful car to own and drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent loss of one dipped headlight (loose connection somewhere). Otherwise nothing.
General comments?
A very comfortable, reliable and (for it's size) reasonably economical car. A bit sluggish first thing in cold weather, but I didn't expect a racing car with a diesel automatic.
Very comfortable for long or short journeys. Very good build quality and high level of trim and accessories (sat nav, rear blind, computer, TV etc. etc.) -all of which work in a four year old car.
Get around 38-44 mpg (more than double my old Mercedes) with better performance all round, so I'm more than content.
The best car I've owned (and I've owned all sorts, inc. BMW's and Mercedes). Incredible value for money at the moment because of Rover's collapse. Well worth considering if you want a high-end, very comfortable family or business car.
