1991 Sterling 827 review from North America
"Excellent runner, very poor everything else!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust rusted out.
Remote died.
Rotors/pads front.
Window arms broken/bent; they still go up/down, just need some guidance.
Lots of minor electrical gremlins.
General comments?
What a motor!!! Honda's little 2.7L is great! Uses NO oil, although leaks a little, no drips just some seepage. Runs great! Lots of power and with the transmission in "sport" mode, wow...
Only downside is the Rover's build quality. I've had problems with the remote (still don't work), horn, rear taillights and of course, the dash coming apart. If you don't care about the little things and only need/want an auto that will get you from point A to point B all the time every time, (with a smile!), look for the 827 with Honda's 2.7L motor and transmission!
