1997 Rover - Austin Coupe 1.8 VVC from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Exclusive and excellent all rounder
Faults:
Head gasket replaced at 60K (caused by water pump failure).
Driver's door handle broke.
General Comments:
Car loves to rev, and can still keep pace with most modern cars.
Dry weather roadholding excellent, although grip in wet is limited.
Economy / performance balance is brilliant (> 42 mpg on motorway)
Still looks great, even though the design is approx 17 years old.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
