    it is a car you either love or hate,
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    nope, they are ugly, and the only good thing about them is the bmw engine, the rest is pure rover junk.
    i know a guy who had one, he had so many stupid electrical faults,he decided to sell it and buy the estate version, which again has had simalar stupid electrical faults.

    I thought Rover has a legacy of a high quality British car.

    It looks like a more older persons car 50s or so, comfortable middle class

    Are the petrol engines from BMW as well? I know the 2.0 diesel is (was thinking about buying one - lot of car for the money especially in "Connisseur" proper old man trim :D)

    it has a legacy of poor quality electrics and persistant head gasket failure i would say. and not to mention the over expensive spare parts,even when they were still easily available.
