dont ever let the rover badge put you off.

my little rover 214 is a lovely drive and all of my mates love it aswell because of its comfort,

the power is there if needed also for a little 1.4 engine.

i am an 18 year old lad and the insurance is not to dear at all.

When I bought this car 4 months ago i thought it was the bees-knees and i still do. I think this car can be good on petrol if you dont exceed 1500 revs in any gear.

I especially like the back end of the Rover 214si looks very very good, and i like the interior.

If heater is left on tends to stop head from blowing, lowers water pressure.

Overall a very satisfying car to own and I would recommend one to anyone.

love the car. i think they are the beat looking cars when done up. mine is charcoal grey with metallic 17' alloys, sun strip a metallic purple back box, pioneer sound system and other graphics. I love it and the only thing I would love more is a Bugatti!!!

My Rover 214 Si car is very easy to insure as a first time driver and is a very good runner. However, I had a few problems:

1. First the clutch completely went, partially my fault but was on its way out.

2. A day after I got it back, my timing belt went causing all my valves to bend.

3. My rotor arm went, causing my car to break down again. I had to get the RAC out.

Total cost: £1400 repairs.

Very nice cars and cheapish to get parts for. I would still recommend this to a friend.

The Rover 214 Si was my first car, and boy what a hateful little piece of machinery it is!

The K series engine in the early models (like the one in mine!) is just about the worst piece of mechanical engineering ever, EVER, put into production.

I bought a Rover 214 Si 16v, it is a very quick car for group 6 ins. I've done 60 in 9 secs and it kept pulling all the way to 125mph! Inside is comfy, the heaters warm up quickly. Mine is dark metalic blue in 3 door and with alloys it looks subtle and stylish.

Had my Rover 200 for just over a year and a half and in that time I have done 33000 miles and the engine is still as good as it was the day I bought it. I got it for just over £2,000 and it comes with ABS and power steering. The boot is fairly big and is plenty big enough for a decent sound system install. Handling is great and you can feel the car pulling all the way up to 125mph (not bad for a 1.4)

I've modded mine a bit, with a ZR rear spoiler, front splitter, Savage backbox, Piper-x induction kit, meshed front grill, 17" alloy wheels, lowered at the front, black rear Lexus lights, tinted windows and a few other bits, love the car and the exhaust note with a 3.5" backbox is immense at 2.5 metres it made 104.2 decibels, my mates RS turbo with a 5" pipe made 105db from 1 metre. It's a car that despite being a common car can look very original with very little work.
