I acquired my Rover 25 1.4 over 3 years ago now. It was second hand but had all its service history and not a very high mileage. Taking all this into account I have been delighted with it... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap to buy and run. Nice to drive.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Image of slippers and carpet sticks however unjust it is

    While my wife’s Vauxhall Corsa was in for repair, the AA and Vauxhall between them hired us a Rover 25 for six days. When I turned up at the Europcar desk in Stafford I was down to hire a sexy black 1800 Seat Leon, which had my taste buds going with excitement. As soon as the clerk learnt I was taking the car away and wouldn’t be returning it to her branch she changed my car into a Rover 25, so she could keep the Lovely Seat for the people of Stafford! I should have been happy with this as they hired me a car, completely free of charge that was bigger than the car I was driving. I ... more

    Advantages Advantages A good all round car with a smart look

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit cramped for a tall person

    Rover cars have had a tough time recently, well the last 30 years if I am to be honest. The lowest point in the companies history must have been when it was sold to BMW, but for the consumer I believe it was a Godsend. For BMW invested heavily in the company and produced 3 very fine cars and 1 in particular took my fancy, the new Rover 25. I liked it so much that I went out and brought one before Christmas and have never looked back since. *****Power with Style***** Before I brought this Rover I had always mocked them for being a second rate car, but BMW have turned them into a stylish quality ... more

    Advantages Advantages high BHP for a small engine!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Has devalued enormously!

    My husband and I bought this car in October 2004, paying £6000 (according to the dealer, this was £1000 knocked off the asking price!) It is a 2003 03 reg, we bought in nightfire red, which still to this day I find a nice colour. It has five doors, a 1.4l engine, 103BHP, air con, power steering, remote central looking, elec. windows, elec. mirrors, is insurance group 6 and is in the second tax band! Tell you what, lets start with the bad points so we can go on to a happy note after : 1) The air conditioning - this has never worked as long as we have had it - despite many attempts to get it ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good Handling, Economical and Stylish Looks.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basic Interior and depreciates rapidly.

    Service time for the trusty Ford Focus and the courtesy car that I was given was a Rover 25 1·4 ie so I thought why not give the car the once over and then write an opinion for the Ciao readers. The Rover 25 1·4 ie 16V looks nice but looks can be deceiving and the interior does not live up to the promise of the exterior. The inside is basic, but it is a basic model so I shouldn't expect too much, you get remote central locking, a cassette/radio, drivers airbag and a sunroof for your £8K+ (prices vary between dealers and this was the price I noted at the time). The handling is excellent and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap to run, good handling.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Starting to look dated now.

    I upgraded to a Rover 25 1.4i from my Rover 100, which had frankly seen better days. My immediate opinion of this car was "wow, this thing can move"! Okay, so I'm probably a little biased given I was driving what was basically a 1.1 Metro, but it really was more responsive than I was expecting from a 1.4 Rover - no longer was I having to coax my car at roundabouts and junctions! Image wise it was a major step-up from the Rover 100, which was essentially just a Metro with curves; you get the impression Rover have actually put some thought into this one, with the 25 benefitting from the similar ... more
