“This Rover is no dog!”
Written on: 10/03/2012
I have owned my Rover 75 Tourer CDTi SE (131 BHP) Connoisuer (Auto) for nearly 4 years. It has never let me down, I have it serviced every year usually just an engine service oil change etc. I have driven from Uk to Spain in it a few times without a sniff of a problem. The car is so plush inside, good quality cream piped leather seats and walnut trim all over the dash and steering wheel, it really is like being in a Bentley. The BMW award winning diesel engine is a great motor and pulls... (read more)

Written on: 26/04/2011 by funkybadger (1 review written)
I bought mine with 83,000 on the clock for £2500. It has everything except sat nav and sunroof. Although there is the assumption this is an older persons car, friends love it! It is comfortable, quiet, economical and, for once, I don't feel so tired after driving long journeys.
The only gripe is the fuel pump went, and this became a £600 fix! Also, the computer screen can show vertical lines if not used for a while.
All in all, its the best, and the cheapest, car I've bought. We can...

I have owned my Rover 75 CDTi Connoisseur SE Tourer auto (131 bhp) for 2 months and so far I am extremely happy with it. It is a smooth powerful not racey luxury car which gives great handling. It returns very good mpg as long as you drive it smoothly and not like a boy racer. The leather seats are amazingly comfortable and everything feels right in this car. You can tell that when BMW owned Rover they wanted it to be like the Rovers of old infact it's better than any Rover that was ever... (read more)

The Diesel Rover 75 2.0 CDTI Connoisseur SE is the better option with the BMW engine and if you can get a parking heater this takes the wear out of cold starts. You'll get the usual part wearing out but I would buy another if they still made them and I'm only 35! (read more)

Written on: 19/03/2006 by Taff Evans (2 reviews written)
I have owned a Rover 75 Connoisseur 2.0 CDT Tourer for three and half years. The only problem I have had was a faulty petrol gauge, which was replaced under warranty (when there were such things). It averages 38 mpg around town, but around 50 mpg on a run. My previous motor was a Mercedes 600 SEL (4 years old when purchased) and I would not buy another Mercedes. The Rover is more comfortable and a smoother ride. I agree it lacks the performance but it is excellent for an automatic diesel. (read more)

Written on: 15/09/2004 by david3826 (5 reviews written)
This Rover 75 2.0 CDTI Connoisseur SE estate car was my second Rover Connoisuer. The first one Rover bought back because it had had seven sets of front discs and pads in 18 months. As they could not find out what the problem was they agreed to buy it back. I was so happy with the car that I ordered another one, this time with the 135 bhp engine. Not only was the extra power superb the economy was better acheiving 48 mpg on a run. The problems happened after just 1,100 miles. The car suffered... (read more)

I have been driving a Rover 75 Tourer for over two years and have now covered over 55,000 miles. I have not had a single problem. It a great car to drive and is very relaxed at crusing speed on the motorway. Recently I travelled up to Newcastle with two friends and we agreed to share the driving. My friend who started the first part of the journey enjoyed driving this car so much he insisted on driving all the way.

David, i can understand your comments but if you think it is a good car apart from the brakes then you wouldnt be giving it such a low rating. Your ratings are rather unfair

I had a over 75 cdt diesel estate, top of the line Conn se model. Ran it for 90000 miles. Not a single problem. The most reliable car I have owned. It was comfortable, well equiped, great value and low cost to own and run. A great car.

I have owned a Rover 75 and still own a MGZTT CDTi. after 6 years. Only problem I have had has been with the ECU failing due to water filling up the compartment that it sits in....clear the drain hole regular and should be no problem. I love the car and would definately buy another and another......
