Bad Points: Rust, head gaskets go on 1st cylinder but at least its between water and piston, no water in oil so can still drive if necessary

General comments: I'm on my 7th Rover Montego. Don't want any other car. I haven't found another 7 seater that I could afford to run. I want to keep mine going for ever if only they didn't rust so bad.it's economical, roomy, can sleep 2 in back. I love the under floor storage.

I receive a lot of abuse owning a Rover Montego estate - this is my second. The car is comfortable, well-built, and very reliable. The first Montego was beaten by rust, which had taken hold under the previous owner, but the time I had it, nothing went wrong mechanically. It was just cheaper to find another than fix it.

Everytime I get hassle I merely remind people that even when I abuse it like a boy racer I still get 48 mpg. Servicing can be done myself in a couple of hours. The air and oil ...

On to my 2nd Montego estate bought second hand, used daily for work driving +16000miles per year.
Neither of the 2 have failed but have needed repairs on a regular basis,wheel bearings,shocks,suspension parts, discs etc.
Dead cheap to run, but not a sexy car to be seen in.
