1990 Rover - Austin 800 820i Fastback review from UK and Ireland
"An overall fantastic package which has a very unfair bad reputation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil sensor at 121,000.
Clock reads funny digits 121,000.
General comments?
Very big and very quick for its size.
Auto box very smooth.
An absolute joy to own and drive.
Does 415 mile motorway drives with no problems. Smooth and quiet. 8 speaker stereo with CD player and the arm rests are very comfortable.
Quite keen on fuel unless on the motorway. From 18mpg to 32 on long runs.
Loves munching through front brake pads. 1,800 miles on the last set!
