Advantages: Very comfy to drive!

Disadvantages: Too many to menyion!

I bought the Rover 25 to replace my awesome little Saxo VTS, since my little boy had recently been born and so I had to leave my boy racer days behind me .. plus I needed a 5 door car and I needed something cheaper to run!

I found the Rover to be a big dissapointment! Within 2 weeks of buying the dam thing, the head gasket went .. luckily for me it was still under warranty. Also, being that I dropped from a lighter 1.6l car to a heavier 1.4l car I obviously noticed a big drop in power! In fact there is no power in the Rover ... at all!

Shortly after the head gasket was repaired, the aerial snapped off with me, leaving the but firmly screwed into the car .. needless to say, things weren't going too well with my new car!

I haven't had too many problems with it since then, but it hasn't made me grow to like the car any more. The air con button doesn't seem to do anything, the car vibrates vigorously when doing anything over 30mph, and I have to pump the brakes to slow the car down!

Maybe I've just bought a dodgy Rover 25, maybe they are in fact great cars ... well guess I'll never know, cos I won't for the life of me be buying another!

Summary: Maybe I've just had some bad luck ... but it ain't the car for me!
