1990 Rover - Austin 800 827 Vitesse review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 20 months of ownership, only part of the exhaust replaced and a CV boot.
My CV joints are knocking slightly now, but I can get these done for £80.
General comments?
Honda V6 engine is a dream - nothing gone wrong with it yet (phew!).
Tyres are £100 a corner (ouch!).
A very comfortable and fast car (0-60 in 7.6s), but on cornering it handles like a whale (it's no sports car).
