GARY220 · Post by **GARY220** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 6:32 pm

Speaking from what ive heard, they r sh1t, but i havnt driven one, so i cant give you my personal view

Best thing to do is drive one and examine the build carefully. At the right price they probably will make a nice little city runabout.

That stupid git James whateverhisnameis panned it on Top Gear but what does he know? I suggest, as others before have, that you test drive one. If it's good enough for the Indian market, it can't be all bad. I mean, they still drive around in Standard 8's and even may have a few SD1's and Montegos round too. If you can get the price down (that was the main criticism) then it could be a bargain.

I'm sorry...It's a piece of logger and this is first hand.

It's a logger driving position, no power from the engine, loads of noise inside the cabin, shitty steering wheel which rubbed on the plastic cowel each time you turned.

The only + was that it had a Sony CD Player!

:oops:

xr4x4 · Post by **xr4x4** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 3:32 pm

yeah..!!

i saw it at the motorshow at the NEC..

to say i was shocked is an understatement....

it just looked cheap and nasty.

in this day and age you would expect alot more from a motar.

For gods sake, lets call a spade a spade...

The city Rover stinks!

Buy a ZR, they are getting quite cheap now.

:evil:

WELZ · Post by **WELZ** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 7:03 pm

You test drove one yet?? Please do before you buy!!!

gta · Post by **gta** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 8:39 pm

I think there is a secret plan to gift it to his worst enemy, a mother in law prehaps ?

You would have to get it for 2 thousand new to be worth it surely

Sheaf · Post by **Sheaf** » Thu Jun 02, 2005 10:07 pm

So you ask whether it's good or not... and people on a rover forum openly admit that this rover is dire... yet you're still getting one? Odd.

Personally I think they look cheap and tacky. I know of somebody with one (and he's about 80 so in the normal cityroverage bracket) - apparently it's crap quality.

I'd rather have a 10 year old Sei or something... same size engine, just more practical, better looking, cheaper and faster.
