Rover 600Newest Review: ... a bit of a timewarp as Honda wouldn't let Rover use the 2.2 VVC engine for the 600. They feared it would steal Accord ... more More Rover card

I've owned two of these, the first was a company car, the next, a secondhand purchase. Basically, this is a Honda Accord. Rover's part of their collabouration was in presentation and packaging something that as a Japanese company, Honda didn't know much about. Rover did make some changes to the car itself, the rear wings are the biggest difference. The last 600 I owned was 623GSi Auto, a secondhand bargain, ex company with a full Rover service history. Having owned two, I can honestly say the only thing of real expense that went wrong was a holed radiator as the air intakes to cool the radiation aren't meshed and a stone hit it off ...

I've had this car approximately 3 months, and I have to say it's been great up to now. I liked the Rover 400 since hiring one a couple of years ago for a long trip, and always fancied one, but thought they would be out of my price range for a few years yet.

I own a Rover 620ti for 5 years now. This car has a weird mixture of advantages and disadvanages. When you buy this car your buy a stylish rover which looks a bit sporty but not too much. Lowering the car 2" looks excellent but will get you in trouble as the car is quite long and with more than 2 people you will be scraping the tarmac. The car comes with a very good set of 16" alloy wheels which look quite elegant. If you want to make it look sporty replace them with 17" and 215/40/17 or 215/45/17. Although the car looks big the interior is very small in comparison, although you will not be having any problems with even 5 passengers. ...
