Faults:

The gearbox can be sticky at times, particularly engaging 3rd gear.

Power steering too strong (steering feels too light).

General Comments:

I fell in love with the Rover 600 the first time I saw it. Of the Rover family of cars this for me has the most appealing styling, more appeal than an equivalent sized BMW or Ford or any other saloon types. It's just such a sexy car.

The seats are very comfortable and the ride quiet and reassuring. Steering feels a bit too light because of the power assist. However, this greatly helps with reverse parking.

Also, as I do high mileages, I'm so far quite pleased to get 35mpg over some 1200miles, against a published 31mpg. Can't report yet on rate of use of other consumables as I haven't piled up enough miles, not like my previous car (Renault Clio) which I covered 281,000miles in (check that review!).

Faults:

Basically nothing really important:

At 87000 the driver's power window failed (the glass goes out of the frame because of the weak rubber of the frame). Typical problem for the Rover 600 and Honda Accord.

Rubber of the CV boot doesn't last long and may break the joints of the wheels if not replaced.

Delicate gearbox (as all Honda cars).

General Comments:

Excellent reliable car. Lots of people say there is no problem up to 200000 miles.

Not so drivable: need many corrections on the steering wheel; rear / side visibility not so bright, it takes a few weeks of practice. Lazy response of the car and the engine.

Engine noise OK (but only if is the 1.8 Honda, also more reliable).

Cabin noise just quiet enough, you still hear the noise from the tyres and the street.

Faults:

Nothing gone wrong with the car at all.

General Comments:

Regular services at 6000 miles.

Slippery leather seats don't hold bodies in place.

Diesel consumption similar to petrol if driven rapidly like a petrol car.

Faults:

This is a new addition to my family and cannot comment on the reliability yet, but figures show very promising.

General Comments:

Well what can I say, I asked my car dealer friend to get my wife a nice car with nice interior for about £3000 to £4000 for Christmas.

He came back with a 620 ti.

Me fixing bulldozers and cranes for a living had no idea of this monster in disguise.

If your kids need to get to school before they get there then find one of these cars, they are Mega fast and fun.

Faults:

Slight oil weep from cam cover (fixed in 20 minutes for £8)

General Comments:

I used to drive a BMW 320i as a company car and decided to take an allowance instead. Went and drove various things, went 20 miles in the 620Ti and bought it. It really is superb! Best bit was a mint 2 year old, FSH'd 26,000 miler from a Rover dealer cost me £5,400.

Interior quality is about as good as the 3 series, and reliability so far has actually been better (this hasn't broken down, the Beemer did). It feels very well engineered and solidly built, remembering of course that everything on this car bar the drivetrain is actually Honda anyway. The quality shows.

The turbo engine is awesome and still makes me grin now when it comes on song. It's well engineered too, with little lag and very progressive power. After 59,500 miles, it's still sweet as a nut, pulls as well as ever, and oil consumption is negligible. It even handles okay if you're not too brutal with the throttle. Dealers try hard and do a good job making servicing painless, if expensive.

Complaints? 22 mpg when booting it can be a bit painful (although 28 is more like average), and the cost of genuine Rover parts can be extortionate. I was quoted £74+VAT for a set of front brake pads - must be gold plated!
