How to get it right and wrong.....
#31
Err, wtf?? Firstly it's not cheap...bit of a gas guzzler for a 1.6
Then do I really need to list all the faults that i've had with ours? Plus the cost of fixing them?
Is yours a 200 or a 25? The inlet manifold gasket was a common early fault on some K's, but sorted a while back. Head gaskets have been known to go (again on earlier models) - keep an eye on your water and it needn't be very expensive. I don't think Rover dealers are any more expensive than any others, if you have any sense you will find a good independant.
I think a much better source for reliability would be something like this :

Notice that Subaru comes out as the 2nd most unreliable!?
Anyone think that the streetwise would look better if they'd colour code the 'orrible black plastic? Still would be a laughable effort though
There will always people who will never have a good thing to say about Rover and its cars - with or without any personal experience. Knocking our car industry seems to be a national pastime. Tell you what - if you don't like it, sell it and don't buy another one! Just stop moaning about it!
