Rover 75 Reviews

The Rover 75 I had was the 'Club SE' version, it was a 1.8 litre petrol engine and came with climate control. The reason why I am talking in past-tense is because the car eventually gave up in typical rover style and was sent to the scrap yard a couple of months back. Please don't misunderstand me if I sound like I didn't like this car, ...  Read the complete review

A very luxurious car for very little money. Smooth ride and handles very firmly when pushed and feels secure to the road.

What's a early-thirties man doing with an "old-man's" car ? More importantly, why did he spend his own readies rather than company money on a Rover 75 just over a year ago? Simple, this car has style and it has class and this is the return to where Rover used to be before even I was a twinkle in my mum and dad's ...  Read the complete review

I drive a company Rover 75 and do about 20k miles a year. I thought I'd give you my views on how things have gone. The car has a retro look that will either appeal or not - there's no middle ground. It is heavy and in the 2.0 and smaller engines woefully underpowered. Mine is a 1.8 and consequently driving it gives me a feeling ...  Read the complete review

I took delivery of my new Rover 75 in December and can honestly say that it is a pleasure to drive. I have had several brand new cars over the years and never have I had so many comments made on my new car as I have with this one. The most common comment is "Have you got a Jag?" Not only does this car look good, it is very comfortable ...  Read the complete review

I had always admired this car when driving my carina, nice looking on the outside - sort of Jaguar s-type without the badge - and with the price hanging around 16000 seemed sort of sensible to take a look. sat in this car 6 weeks back when i was mini-cabbed into work, driver had got it as a courtesy car, but seriously hated it when I brought up ...  Read the complete review

There's a personnel crisis going on at the Slough factory of a well-known paperclip manufacturer. The production manager has called head office. He needs an expert to solve the problem, and he'll need to arrive in the sort of car that makes the right impact of course. It will have to be an executive charger; something smart, ...  Read the complete review

Rover have done incredibly well to make a car with so much class. The car looks very posh and drives very smoothly. Some people even mistake it for a Jaguar. In some ways, Rover have actually defeated the BMW 3-Series in the compact executive class. Previously, Rover's big saloons were clumsy and undesirable but the Rover 75 changes all of ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago rover dealerships were offering the crazy deal of a 24 hour road test with unlimited mileage. All I had to do was arrange temporary comprehensive insurance through my broker, which surprisingly didn't cost anything extra. So armed with my temporary cover note and my driving licence I marched into the showroom one Friday ...  Read the complete review

ROVER 75 I went along with a friend to test drive this car which undoubtedly looks from the outside very like the Jag. I was prepared to like this car because of its looks but once inside I changed my mind very quickly. The leather seats in the top of the range don’t feel like real leather and the dash, well Woolsey eat your ...  Read the complete review

The first time I travelled in the Rover I was more than a little sceptical about it. I thought the car would be certain to break Rover and signal the end of sort of British made mass produced cars. My first impression of the car was bad, the windows were too small and the engine sounded slow and strained; the car felt very enclosed because of the ...  Read the complete review

I took one of these cars home for the weekend from work. It looked the business. It looks like a Jaguar S type and in a dark colour (black, navy or green) it looks like a very sleek, executive vehicle. The interior was all decked out in wood veneer, but the cloth seats looked cheap and tacky. The car I took home only had 13000 miles on the ...  Read the complete review

I went to the 1998 Motor Show at the NEC, and expressed an interest in buying the new Rover 75, So I got the top notch treatment. I had a guided tour of the car, and I was shown all of its features. If you have seen one of these beauties on the road and thought, 'that’s nice,' trust me, IT IS. It resembles a Jag in many ways, but ...  Read the complete review

Rover's first brand new car since the Rover 200 in 1996 is fantastic to say the least. At last, some people have started to praise the Rover company for making a product that is not 'terrible'. However, I would have to disagree with that fact as all the present Rovers are all pretty good, although the 45 has not been so. The 75 is a ...  Read the complete review

This car is amazing it fantastic and its the best car rover have ever made. It strong, safe, well built, great looking and has a the best insides. It the car to buy. people say it looks like the jag but the 75 was put in to development first and thus the jag copyed the 75. Now the new owner are thinking about doing a MG 75, thats going to ...  Read the complete review

And why wouldn't you want a Jag S type. I can't help but get the feeling that this car has been aimed at the Jag wannabes out there. The engine performs nicely and certainly gives you what you need when you need it. And boy is it quiet. the car that I test drive was so perfectly quiet so could get a baby to sleep in no time. ...  Read the complete review
