Advantages: Great car all round

Disadvantages: Rusts if aged heavily

The Rover Maestro. Well hmmm! Why do people always regard the Rover Maestro as one of the worst ever cars designed by Austin Rover. Sure, it has its problems but there is a better side to this car that no-one expected. No-one knows that it is actually the base for the Land Rover Freelander which is selling as the best off-roader at the moment in Europe and the USA. We have had three Maestros and, yes, they have not been sparklingly brilliant but they provide the goods any day. As a cheap runaround, they are great as they regularly do 40-45 mpg and saves a few pounds at the petrol station. Also, the LX and Vanden Plas models from 1985 - 1993 were also gifted with electric windows and sunroof. But there are no need for extras! This is because it is such a joy to drive (especially the 2.0i/EFi models!)
