Rover 214 SLI

Advantages: Cheap to buy and run, nice to drive, comfortable, don't rust
Disadvantages: Some people knock them

...my dads 5 year old Rover 214 SLI just after my 17th birthday. I had bought a Vauxhall Nova of my auntie but found a cheapest quote of £1200 for third party fire and theft was just too expensive. My Dads insurance was due for renewal so I shoped around for quotes to put me on my Dads insurance as a named driver. Eventually I found a great quote with CIS insurance fully comp for just £533. So my Dad put me on his insurance, and I started driving the ...
...central door locking with a rover alarm & imobilizer, and a Airbag not bad for a 95 model. If you by a 200 go for the mid range sli with costs only a couple of hundred more but as lots more equipment compared to the si. The engine is also a gem, it's 1.4 multi point fuel injected 16 valve twin quam engine is so good, it produces a healthy 103bhp something it's rivals can only dream off, as you can imagine it's quite quick off the mark leaving much ...

My first car, and my first Rover!

Advantages: Cheap to buy, fantastic free revving K series engine, good spec, fantastic looks, great handling
Disadvantages: None

...is the story of my Rover 214Si. I was 19 years old when I started to learn to drive and look for that all important first car. I considered all makes and models ranging from vauxhall, ford and peugeot but I never came across anything that really tickled my fancy. My friend at the time owned a Rover 414i which I knew was cheap on insurance, cheap to run and tax and after having been in his I knew it packed a punch and sounded brilliant! The 400 ...
...unsporty. However I put Rover into the search on autotrader and came across the 200 and it was love at first site! I opted for the 1.4 engine rather than the 1.1 because I heard the 1.4 offered more economy and performance combined. The 1.6 engine fell into the higher tax bracket. I ended up with a gorgeous Tahiti Blue 1998 Rover 214Si 16v 5 door model. Even though the previous owner had somewhat destroyed some of the interior trim with silver paint ...

MY FIRST CAR WAHEY

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...my mum got her new rover 214, I must admit, I pretty much set my sights on one, for what I wanted it had loads of room, was comfortable, is only a group 5 on the insurance, and had a 1.4 injection engine, so it had the power to cope with the size. I first found the car I have now bought on auto trader, a site I certainly recommend, the search options really go into a lot of detail as to finding the car you want, which is great stuff for lazy internet ...
...12 miles away from my home, so I got my mum to take me up to have a look, everything was in tip top condition on the car, it was absolutely immaculate, except for 2 very small scratches on the top of the boot, everything else was fine, the engine itself was and still is extremely clean, and the thing that capped it for me in fairness, what that it' a year older than my mums, and it has central locking, whereas her doesn' hehehe, she wasn't amused. ...

One Man And His Dog

Advantages: Smooth and easy to drive.
Disadvantages: Expensive to run.

I bought my Rover 214Si in September 1998 and owned it for just over a year before buying a newer car. When I bought it (for £1,000) it had 100k miles on the clock and I would say was in average condition for a H reg (seven years old) at the time. There are still a lot of these cars on the road so I thought this may help someone looking to buy a second hand car. They would be quite good as a first car really, you can pick up a decent one for around ...
...red with grey trim. The vast majority of these cars seem to have the same colour scheme, I have seen green as well which is quite nice, I haven't seen any in silver though, this would look really good I think! In fact my wife's uncle used to have a white one, used it for their wedding and it looked quite good with all the ribbons on it! You must of seen these cars driving around, I would say they look OK even today, the top of the range ones looked ...

I'll get over having a Rover...

Advantages: Cheap to buy andrun
Disadvantages: Rusts easily, dodgy gearbox

The Rover 214SLI was produced by Rover in collaboration with Honda, hence many of the layout features and buttons you find on this car are the same as many Honda produced in the same era. I originally started driving a 214SLI after I passed my test in April 2001 (oh, just realised I've been driving near on three years now, but thats an aside!). This car was an red H reg and was owned by my parents, and I was put on the insurance to allow me to get ...
...looks like ============= The Rover 214 has the same shape as a lot of Rovers at that time (ie, the 216, 414, 416 etc). It is fairly long and wide (although not to Volvo standards!) and is available in a variety of engine sizes and 3 and 5 door varietys. The model numbers actually stated if the car was a hatchback or saloon, and also the cars CC value. (IE - a 214 was a 1.4 Litre Hatchback, a 414 was a 1.4 Litre Saloon and a 216 was a 1.6 litre ...

If I won the lottery I would buy another one!

Advantages: Beautiful drive
Disadvantages: Servicing expensive (but then isn't it with any car?!)

Ok, so I am a 28 year old girlie who has owned a Ford Fiesta, Ford Escort and brand new Rover 214si! But I now wouldn't part with my Picasso. Two years ago, after having my first child, we decided to look for a mini mpv. It was between a Renault Scenic or a Citroen Picasso. I test drove both and immediately fell in love with the Picasso. NOT because of it's looks but because of how comfortable it is to drive. I drive over 15,000 miles a year, up to London and down to Plymouth quite frequently due to work and enjoy every single minute of it. The CD player and Air Conditioning obviously help with the long hours but the smooth drive is the icing on the cake. There are many advantages with the Picasso when you have children. Those of you whom have struggled, bending down and trying to put your child in their car seat at low ...

MG ZT 2.0 CDTi

Advantages: Nice Looking Car, Pretty Nippy (Even For A Diesel!) Half Leather Interior
Disadvantages: After Sales & Customer Service!!!

My Mum And Dad Have A MG ZT 2.0 CDTi Its The Nicest Car Weve Ever Had! The Last Car Weve Had Being A Old VW Jetta, Horrible Car But Never Cost Us A Penny, Rover 214 Si Which The Head Gasket Went On! And A Renault Laguna TD Sport 2nd Best Car! The Only Problem We Had With The MG Was The Steering Rack Was Faulty, The Car Would Pull To The Left (Dangerously To The Left) And At This Time The Car Was Still Under Warranty So We Took The Car Back To Rayrigg Motor Group (Where We Bought It From) And They Where Such Liars!! I Aggre With The People That Said Rover-MG Customer Service Was Crap!!! And It Took Rayrigg 3 Failed Attempts To Try And Put It Right All They Keep Saying Was The Parts They Were Getting Were Faulty. So In The Eyes Of The Law After Three Attempts You Are Leagally Obliged To Take The Car Somewhere Else And Have Rayrigg Pay ...

Review of MG ZT

A fantastic car and pleasure to own and drive such a rare piece!

Advantages: Stunning looks, rare to see, fantastic spec, good handling, cheap to buy and maintain
Disadvantages: A few niggly faults, the 1.6 k series engine isn't much different to the 1.4

Well it?s about time I shared my experience with my Rover Coupe. My first car was a 1998 Rover 214Si which I bought and drove for just over a year. I was always on the look out for another car and definitely wanted to stick with Rover as my 214 had been nothing but extremely reliable and great fun to own and drive. I was looking through the Autotrader like I do every week and came across a few Rover 200 Coupes. Wow was the first word that came into my head when I seen them. I?ve never before seen one of these on the roads and didn't even know Rover made a Coupe. On this particular week there were only 2 to choose from...a 1998 Tahiti Blue 216 Coupe Auto with 87,000 miles or a 1998 British Racing Green 216 Coupe Manual with 80,000 miles. At this time I was leaning more towards the blue one as my 214 was the same shade ...
