The driver seat was fully adjustable and it had electric everything, as I said it all worked. For some unknown reason to me, the car had a sunroof and air-con, still it made summer days more enjoyable. I guess it would look a bit dated now but it was utterly functional and the switch made sen...more

Premium Review Rover 600: Not bad for a rewarmed Honda Accord (588 words)

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 didn't know about the 620 at the time, and that they had been out in the new shape since 1993. So when I was looking for a new family car I was looking at Mondeo, Cavaliers etc, until I came across the 620. I couldn't beleive it was the same sort of shape as the newer 400, and when I had a test drive I was hooked. I bought a 1994 model 620SLi. It's basically the Honda Accord ...

Premium Review Rover 600: Rover 620ti - A stylish top gun! (470 words)

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. ...
