Re: A free Rover 25 with every mortgage!
Well, I drove a Rover, think it was one of the top end 620s about a year ago at work. We get quite a few cars given to us for testing purposes. I thought it drove well and outside it looked good, but the inside was terrible (This was a top of the range model). the switchgear was so dated and the same as that I'd seen in a Rover metro I'd driven as a student about 10 years before. It let the whole car down.

I'm also a bit disappointed that all their new City Rovers are manufactured in India and they shove a union jack on them. I watched it being reviewed on a car programme on ITV London a month or two ago and they slated it. the workmanship was reminiscent of lada/skoda under communism.

I think the biggest mistake Rover ever did was to pi$$ Honda off and jump into bed with BMW. Honda's k-series engine saved Rover and then they turned round and went in with BMW, who as far as I can see were only after two things from them, info about hondas engines and the Mini trademark.
