Advantages: Cheap Maintanence Costs

Disadvantages: High fuel costs round town

Hi there i owned an L Reg Rover 620SI as my first car and found it to be a very good drive, very comfy and spacious inside.

I picked this car up from a friend at work for £50, because it had been stood for 6 months the rear right caiper had seized which was £20 from a scrapyard. Apart from this and having to adjust the handbrake cable it went straight through an mot.

The fuel economy is somewhere around average giving upwards of 35 to the gallon on a long steady haul. The engine i beleive is a 2 litre Honda Accord engine giving 135BHP which is a reliable quick engine. It never grumbled once. Insurance was a bit steep being around the £800 mark but i was 19 with no driving experiance.

This car is built very well being my first car it got its quota of unfair treatment and abuse and still done me a full year with the only real maintance cost being tyres but on standard wheels it only cost £120 for all four.

Although the car is pretty large it does handle fairly well and got me out of a few sticky situations. Inside had electric windows in the front manual in the back but unfortunately no sunroof.

Overall a damn good buy well pleased with car for the time i had it.

Summary: All round good car
