I've now covered over 60,000 miles in mine and am very pleased with it.
For a 2.0-litre the performance / fuel economy mix isn’t brilliant compared to its ‘flat mate’ the Mondeo but there are a lot worse out there. I find the handling and balance of the sport spot on making it a very relaxed but an enjoyable car to drive and the interior has much more of a quality feel than a mainstream saloon. After a lot of miles I still like taking the car out.
My only gripe is that the clutch seemed an afterthought making getting the right driving position an art; close enough to get the clutch in is far too near, but set the seat in a comfortable position and the clutch is a real strain, plus there’s no room to rest for you foot to the left of the pedal.
Being picky the folding rear seat should be standard surely?
Would I have another, yes but probably the Diesel Estate?
Not much needed to sum up this car. All I can say is that I wouldnt let my dog in it. I think I would actually go for the Mercedes 4x4 this is one of the worst cars on the market for the money required to purchase it.
Two words: RIP OFF.
The car is good to drive although there isn't much pelt for the engine size! The MPG is a bit low but you just dont care because it's worth the money overall.
The interior is nice and the seats are big and comfertable. I would go for leather of a dark colour cloth though because the seats will become stained!
Go for the premium sound pack, it's brill!
A good buy - better than the competition!
Love the car, very comfortable to drive, very economical returning 45+ mpg.
I've had two problems: 1. People say: "How do you like the Rover 75?" 2: Black smoke when I accelerate heavily, a common fault I believe down to the EGR valve (exhaust re-circulation valve). Jaguar are going to sort this under warranty
Overall would highly recommend this car.
