Unfortunatly it's the, not too popular, City Rover!!

Thought it'd be worth mentioning, in case someone was desperate for a 'new' car!

Personally, I'd put my £$£$ into a used motor, rather than one of these!!

    The Suzuki garages are offering the Alto for £3999 as well.

    Not much in it between the two cars, both are badge-engineered Indian cheapies.

    I wouldn't buy either, BUT if you must have a new car, these are damn cheap.

    Must be putting the wind up Perodua I must say, as they're not even the cheapest manufacturer any more.

    (Having said that I'd rather have the peace of mind of an old Daihatsu design than some cheap Indian knock-off).

    £3999 to me is a 4 year old Focus ... at that price, could anyone seriosuly condsider a new car? Bagain basement motoring is one thing but a City Rover?

    mind you being a rover and the company has shut down they might find it hard to sell 350 of these cars. however if you were to make a ridiculous offer.......
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    when Rover first went kaputt, there were stories of people buying brand new MG TFs for £6000 - when I called my dealer, they denied it!!
