    Advantages Advantages COMFORT, STYLE, REFINEMENT, TRADITIONAL ROVER VALUES

    Disadvantages Disadvantages NOT MADE ANYMORE

    It's time to write a review after owning a 75 for two and a half years, I now feel I know 75's rather well. This is the second Rover I have owned the first being a old shape 1995 214 which was my Dad's but drove after passing my driving test at 17. Two and a half years later at the age of 19 and being very impressed with the 214 I decided to buy a Rover 75. I had a budget of under four grand so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a 75 from the auction. I knew pretty much what to look out for and finally bought a X reg 2001 1.8 classic with NO aircon in wedgwood blue. I really wanted a 2.0v6 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Grown up and well engineered luxury car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rover badge, insecurity of the firm

    Considering all the trouble that has surrounded Rover over the years, it's a mazing the company exists at all. Thinking back at all those awful cars the company made (or in fact all their cars), they really should have died a quick death a long tinme ago. The rule here is that Rover make crap cars. And to prove a rule you need an exception and the 75 is just that. Rover cars have lived under the pretence of having some sort of prestige for years now, thinking that putting a chrome grille on below-par super-mini somehow justifies the car as prestigious. Posh people would never buy a Rover ... more

    Advantages Advantages BEautiful looking car,performance .fuel economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages image perhaps

    A couple of weekends ago I had to make a trip of some distance and wanted a little bit of luxury so I hired a Rover75 1.8se for a long weekend. From the moment I set eyes on the car I was looking forward to the trip. The lines of the car are very flowing and I believe the italians call the 75 "il inglese bellisimo" which i think is translated to the beautiful english,and I think the italians know a lot about style. When you enter the car the amount of wood used is amazing they must have cut down a couple of trees to provide all that adorns the dashboard and doors. The list of extras fitted to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Comfort, Value for money, looks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No CD player, can be awkward to clean all that chrome :-)

    You know what annoys me? Reviews written by people, who have never actually SAT in one of these, let alone driven one! And take "advice" from others. (You know who you are!) let me just start by saying don't believe the hype, parts for these cars are easily obtained and they are no worse than any other car out there for reliability or anything else, my mate has a 1 year old BMW 530 D and its been in for repairs 3 times in the past 2 months, and he has just bought one of these cars after being ferried around in ours. Yes there are problems with some of them, but as I already stated that is true ... more

    Advantages Advantages driver fatigue is very well designed

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see above

    The Rover 1.8 club (automatic)has too many faults, i was going to buy one earlier this year but was advised not too by a good friend of mine, let me takes you through the faults that have been found on this overated vehicle. 1: Cam cover gaskets leaking due to torque relaxation in other words the bolts on the Cam Cover are always coming loose. 2: Head Gasket always blowing, causing oil and water to mix. this would be down to poor gasket design and cylinder heads warping. 3: Rear shock absorbers creaking. this is due to a manufacturing problem as Rover are now fitting modified shocks on all new ... more
