Much as I love my Rover, and have lavished loads of dosh on it over my ownership, I think I'll have to let it go for a small petrol car; these days it only gets used for very short journeys to the supermarket, which is not the best use of a diesel engine like this one.

Next up...probably a Fiat Panda...100hp of course... If that doesn't work out, I can always return having seen the error of my ways
A Panda 100hp?

From a 75 to an 100hp, boy you will wonder whats hit you!

We had one a few years ago, the most uncomfortable car we have ever had. We sold it in less that 12 months because the ride was shocking! Imagine driving a car with no suspension, and even that would be more comfortable!

Quite a lively little car, but horrible ride.

Oh I forgot to mention, trying to keep it in one lane on the motorway was nigh on impossible. Even at 70 it required both hands on the wheel, gripping tight and fighting to keep it in one lane.
