What Car? says
For It’s nippy, there’s lots of rear space and it’s cheap
Against Ride, refinement and quality are horrible
Verdict
Very cheap, but there’s little else going for it – there are much better alternatives
Go for… 1.4 Select
Avoid… Solo trim
- 1. We’ve heard reports that oil and water leaks are commonplace
- 2. There's lots of interior space and the CityRover is quite brisk for a city car
- 3. The cheap interior can develop rattles, and the door locks have also suffered their fair share of faults
- 4. Even the newest examples will cost you much less than half the CityRover’s original price
- 5. The 84bhp 1.4-litre engine manages only 37.9mpg, which is much worse than its rivals
