    Good Points: comfort.
    good drive
    ECT.


    Bad Points: wooden look on dash.


    General comments: 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.

    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 i ...

    I got a Rover 214si when I passed my driving test and I just love my wee car. It starts first time any time I need it to. It has very good acceleration and since I put an induction kit and performance exhaust on, it does 0-60 in 8 seconds. They look great with just a set of alloys, although I intend to spruce mine up a bit more with that boy racer look. The only bad point about the car is its fuel consumption (although it could be the way I drive it). I would recommend this car to anyone. They a ...

    The Rover 214Si has been a really good car for me and runs superbly, it drives really nice and is fast on the motorways but giuzzels fuel at high speeds, I find that it has good torque and I even tow a small caravan with mine, it has a huge boot and roomy cabin. good all rounder

    This car was bought to replace my Renault 19 Biarittz which was written off by thieves back in january. So far it has perfomed pretty well and has proven to be quite a reliable car. At Si specifications the rover 214 is very basic in terms of added extras, in fact all that is provided is central locking, steering Height adjustment and a very basic alarm. However for the price that I paid for it I wasn't expecting all that much.
    Being a very late 1992 K plater my car was one of the facelifted ve ...
