 ... do so well. It will hang onto many modern hot hatches. And it does so in style. These cars can be picked up for next to nothing these days. Even by modern standerds they are impressive to drive. Oh, and it comes with an LSD! Bad: Poor brakes, infact there a joke. Fuel consumption (very low geared) Ropey electrics (fuse box) To many rattles Still struggles to keep its mass under control when thrown about Chassis isnt rigid enough. Thanks Honda.... Good: Superb handling for a big car, infact any car. Excellent i...more

Premium Review Rover 800: Vitesse: Awesome performer (471 words)

Rover 820 Vitesse Sport I've owned 3 of these cars. I'd have another any day; although I've no intention of ever getting rid of my current one-a 1998 saloon model in British Racing Green. The Vitesse has been described as a poor man's Bentley (at least, the very scarce coupe version has) and while it's not quite as prestigous as a Bentley, a well kept Vitesse represents a far sounder investment than, say, a Jaguar XJ of around the same age. All cars depreciate, and big, thirsty cars do it best, so why buy a Jaguar that will cost you increasingly huge sums to run and maintain (and probably repair. A lot.) when less cash gets you something just as ...

I've owned '95 a Vitesse Sport Lux for two years. This is quite a rare version of the 800 in that it's specced out like a Sterling but has a 210bhp 2 litre turbo engine ( the same one you get in the 620ti ). I bought it from a main rover dealer when it had 30,000 miles and the depreciation had taken it from £25,000 to £9000 so I reckoned I got a bargain. It had everything I wanted at the time - it's very fast, with a top speed of 150mph and tremendous power through the mid range ( grp 17 insurance means it also attracts hefty premiums ) . Its got a full leather interior, electric everything and a 6 disc cd-player. On the ...

So the time came when I wanted to fulfil another of lifes ambitions and own a Jaguar. After about a year of enjoyable albeit expensive motoring the time came to change. 18 to the gallon just to go to work was a bit expensive on top of Southamptons ridiculous car park charges (£6.00per day) Anyhow getting back to the subject in hand I did a straight swap through Ebay of my 1990 XJ40 for a 1992 Rover 820 4 door automatic. Since that day I haven't looked back having since owned a 1994 5 door hatch 820 (bought on Ebay for £400 and then a 1997 Rover 820 again bought on Ebay for £500. It may seem that I change cars more often than England win at football, but this is purely ...
