Rover 45 1.8 iXL Road Test - The car your grandfather secretly fantasises about? |
Mon, Jul 15th 2002 |
 Rover 45 1.8iXL. The Rover 45 has been referred to variously as ‘the car your grandfather secretly fantasises about’ and ‘an also-ran in a class where there is much excellence’. However, despite being an update of the Rover 400 which originally appeared in 1995 and being left in the shade by the much hyped MG ZS – the Rover 45 continues to appeal to a suprisingly large number of private buyers in particular. So where does the appeal lie?

Rover 25 Owners Report |
Mon, Jul 15th 2002 |
 Rover 25 1.4I 16v. A small car that doesn’t look or feel like a small car.
MG-Rover.org Owner’s Report by John Switzer.
I’d always admired the Mark 3 Rover 200, but as I didn’t relish the prospect of paying Vauxhall Astra money for a car that is only marginally bigger than a Vauxhall Corsa – I had never aspired to owning one. Instead, I happily settled for a Ford Fiesta.
However, with the introduction of the Rover 25 and extensive price cuts across the MG and Rover ranges in the latter half of 2000, buying a Rover 25 suddenly became a rather appealing option. So one damp and miserable Thursday evening shortly before Christmas 2000, I popped into my local MG Rover dealer – Howard Abraham Motors Limited in Lurgan, Co. Armagh.

ZT Range has an Automatic Choice |
Mon, Feb 25th 2002 |
 A new "180 Sports Auto" now complements the performance MG ZT range, providing an automatic choice between the popular 5-speed manual ZT 160 and ZT 190 models. Using the acclaimed 2.5-litre KV6 quad-cam alloy engine, the 180 Sports Auto is specified as standard with the transverse-mounted 5-speed JATCO automatic gearbox.
I was lucky enough to grab a road test of the ZT180 last weekend, sadly I can't do a full roadtest as a) It was raining heavily all day and I couldn't take any pictures of it.

Richardsons XPower MGF |
Mon, Aug 27th 2001 |
 Richardsons of Tiverton, in Devon, have been Rover dealers for probably longer than anyone else, however unlike most dealers they like to have a bit of a play with their cars. For their first MG special, they looked at the MGF. The model they chose as their base was a 1.6i MGF, although from driving the car you wouldn't know it was "just" a 1.6.

MGF 1.6i |
Sun, Jul 29th 2001 |
The MGF range was extended in Spring 2001 with a new base model, with for the first time a different engine choice, this time the 1.6 version of the award winning K-Series. Is the 1.6 engine powerful enough for a sportscar like the MGF ? | Read more... |
