1993 Rover - Austin 800 Si Fastback ABS review from Netherlands
"I love it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- The clutch slave cylinder leaked and had to be replaced.
- The electric windows on the driver's side wouldn't open; I got this fixed (soldering the contacts under the switch in the door).
General comments?
I love the fastback design, great interior, especially the seats. The only minor problem is that some plastic parts rattle at certain speeds.
The ride comfort is very good, although it's a very soft ride and the cornering is a little unpredictable, though very stable.
Acceleration and fuel consumption are very good for a car of this size and age - I manage about 35 mpg on average.
