1993 Rover - Austin 800 820i 2.0i-16v from Netherlands
Summary:
A cheap long distance limousine
Faults:
Because the car had been parked for more than five months, the radiator had to be replaced.
The powered window on the driver's side wasn't working smoothly anymore. This is repaired now.
A minor oil leak is discovered and this will be repaired during MOT/APK.
General Comments:
I'm very positive about the space in this car.
Engine performance and handling is very good.
I think the engine makes too much noise when accelerating on the motorway. Fuel consumption on the other hand is very modest.
Suspension is not too much of fun on very bad roads. Makes the CD player nervous! On motor ways it's perfect.
Good seats, nice wood trim, full options and elegant looks. Booth space is 100%!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

To be fair this car goes at a reasonable speed, but the only problem I have is that it does not have much street cred. The colour is exceptional, it is a silvery-blue. It has a two litre engine and always gets noticed because of my massive subs in the boot. I'm 18 and this car is a sex machine, and believe me I've had some fun times crusin!!!!!!
