Rover 25 1.6

I used to own a “P” Reg Renault Megane 1.4 RN and after owning it for about a year I was less than impressed with it – it got me from A to B, but was no fun - it was time to get a new car. After much deliberation and test-driving of various cars – Vauxhall Astra, VW Polo and a few others - this little cherry caught my eye. Of course, I didn’t buy new so I trawled around my local car dealerships before I found it, finally settling on a Rover 25 1.6 16V iXL in silver – with black leather interior and more electrics that you can shake a stick at!

Me and my husband went car shopping to look for a car with a couple of specifications in mind: 1. it had to look nice 2. it had to drive well 3. it had to be affordable We came across the Rover 25 and were shown the 1.6iS model (16v).

It took corners like a dream and yet it was so quiet without the air conditioning or the CD Player on, it sounded really cool. I've had it for about a week ... more

I LOVE MY ROVER!!! it makes me feel safe Besides that I think it's comfy, reliable, you can get in it when it's frozen (I struggled with my old (T reg)car) the tape player is fab although it didn't come with the cd player it is the one I can add an interchanger to. It feels nice inside when it's cold and wet outside, the seats are comfortable. I must say how well it takes corners (phew), it's like the proverbial of a shovel, It can sometimes be a little sluggish but if it's not hammered, it will leave some standing The only let down is the lack of leg room. I find it useful to have the seat ... more
