    I have had my rover 25 for 2 years and 8 months. I paid over the odds but bought it from a dealer, so no surprise. It is in excellent condition for its age and sprints off the start line whenever asked.
    It has now done 41,000 miles so not bad for an 03 plate, but the gasket has now gone. I caught it before it fully blew and had a headgasket saver put on it today, with a 12 month warranty for £280.
    I am hoping that I will run the car into the ground, but I love this car and would be gutted if I ever had to part with it.
    A lot of people don't like rovers but I love mine.
    I would like to have known, advised me to keep the extended warranty going, it only ran out in February, ok its £200 but would have paid for itself.

    I had a Rover 25 1.6 iL. Engine was a bit gutless, but to be expected for a 1st car. Otherwise loved it, brilliant car!

    I bought an S Reg Rover 25 in 2001. Unfortunately I had a very bad experience.
    Keep in mind that this car only had 26,000 on the clock when I bought it and had a full service, full service history and checks before I picked it up.
    I test drove the car, as you do and pointed out to the salesman that I could hear a slight tapping from the engine. He assured me that the car had been stood and it was simply that the oil was low, I checked this story with my father in-law who knows about cars and ...

    The Rover 25 is one top car. Despite being over 6 foot tall, this is one of the few cars find comfortable and fit in, despite the sunroof. It's the perfect size for singles / couples / small families - the front seats are comfy and there's a massive boot (compared to similar sized cars); the back seats are there so you can occasionally fit your mates in to go to the pub or just for a couple of children. The press never understood this and hence there's "official" reviews claiming the back sea ...

    The Rover 25 1.6 is the best family driving car I have ever driven.
    Engine is happy while idling around town or being pushed on the motorway. Accelerates around roundabouts while holding line very well. Quite economical knocking about 35 ish to the gallon. Very underated and good looking machine.
