Fucking disgrace that Rover went to shit. What has happened to our once proud car industry? I've had 5 Rovers and they have all been great cars.

unfortunately the british car industry fell foul of mis management by incompetant fools more interested in golf than the worklngs of the company, by workers who became outraged by the management and went on strike (and in most cases rightly so) and by allowing the rot and decay of lingering design and engineering to stay in place and not changing things
if only we could go back in time and change things and let modern british engineering and design
oh the fucking possibilities!!

Rovers were crap , no surprise they went under, poeple stopped buying there rubbish when the competition produced alot better for alot less.
But i love the look of the Rover 75, i am getting a new car next few weeks and still tempted to get a 75 but i know its best not too as Rover isnt even around anymore.

@hypnoroo If it overheats after driving with the air con on for an hour then there is a problem. It shouldnt overheat at all, and if you keep driving it without getting it fixed then you are asking for some serious problems in the future. Warped cylinder head etc. My girlfriend has a Rover 75, she does about 700 miles a week sometimes and it is a fantastic car - has not once overheated.

@hypnoroo You can be unlucky with any make of car, but i have had a Rover 75 since October 2005 and so far i have been delighted with it, my plans are to keep it until it's a classic, bought it at just over a year old, so it's been very well looked after. I would recommend one to anybody, provided they are prepared to look after it, do that and they are as reliable as anything else.

these cars are like having your own personal limo

Sounds like you were sold a pup mate.. Check the owners club for the fixes to your problems. I don't get the turning circle of a truck thing either??? I get comments on how tight mine turns. I wouldn't recommend mine to anyone either...it's definitely a keeper. Luscious.

The 75 is a brilliant car. I got my Classic CDT with BMW 2.0L Engine for £3500 53000 miles on the clock. Smooth, comfortable, and fast.

@kawa7900 Thats why you want to avoid the 1.8 engines and go for the diesels and V6s! Every car have there problems, if you want an ultra reliable car, by a some dull japanese car.... just saying! :)

I own a 2002 rover 75 and although it's a very stylish car and has more features than a series 5 BMW, it is very slugish with it's pick up, it has a turning circle of a truck and worst of all it overheats after driving with the aircon on for an hour. Although they are very cheap now I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone.

No Problems with mine, had no breakdowns so far! I could agree with the air con, but i think the handling is allright! It is quiet a long car, but its far better than that china Roewe MG crap, by a long way!
