1996 Rover - Austin 200 214 Si 1.4 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Nice little run around - but not too impressive
Faults:
Air fan in cabin doesn't work on speed number 1.
Washer pipe to rear broke at the rear door hinge.
Electric cables to boot had to be rewired as they had all broken down.
General Comments:
On the whole a good runner. It's the first car I've ever had which has passed *2 MOT's without needing anything.
Poor positioning of side window airvents.
Cramped driving position. Seats not very comfortable.
Good fuel economy. Cheap service costs.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

That's very strange. I have owned my 1997 Rover 216 manual from new and the only thing that has failed on me was the heater switch. Its the most reliable and comfortable and nicest car I have ever owned. Perhaps you got a "friday night" car.
