The misses may be buying a CityRover.
It's not to my taste but it's a cheap runabout for a first time driver.
It's a 2004 in as new condition with 20k on the clock. The seller is asking £1400 for it.. Is there anything that I should look out for on these models?

do you have any documented facts about the build quality or is this just another generalization as i am sure StevenWilliams would appreciate any information you could point out to him.

Thanks Kandyman,.. I was thinking similar myself.. Most of the comments are from people that have driven one. I'd hope with a comment like this that would be the case. I'd love to be able to get a good 25 of similar age for the same money but they just don't exist.. At least not around here. ZR's are to expensive to insure for a first time driver.

well we had them at work as loan cars , and they all fell to bits ... good engine and thats about it... its a well known fact they were built on a budget and it shows when you drive one .. if your going to the supermarket in it once a week, then ye it will do the job , anything more than that, then i would rather take the bus or get a bike... but some people on hear , wont listen because its a rover , but only in name . heaters stop working , window runners break , electrics pack up , seat frames break , clutchs dont last long , need i go on ? all of them and we had three, all failed there first mot !!!.

Must admit, if I went smaller, id definatly want a ZR as I had a 105bhp 200 before and it was a top car.
Would love one as a track day toy with a 160 turbo engine.
