I have owned my Rover for 1 year, I have done a lot of work to it, I've put 17" rims, dump valve, induction kit, and a sports exhaust, I have also flushed the boot , I am putting LED under-car neon lighting on . My next step is to lower the car but I am having trouble finding sport shocks, I would recommend the car to any one.

I have owned my Rover 620Ti for a little over a year and have enjoyed every moment. The only fault I have is a rattle from the manifold which is the gasket rattling a little.
I think this is the best car I have owned and I have owned a few (20 to be exact) BMW's, VW, Ford + many more and this car is far better.
I know of 8 people who own Cosworths and they are all pulling their hair out with faults time and time again.


BUY ONE. YOU'LL LOVE IT.

The Rover 620Ti is a very quick car which rewards comittment, very little turbo lag and proper gear ratios (VW take note). Fit the best front tyres you can I'm using goodyear F1's - soft but emmense grip. Bye bye Gti's and 3 series.

Having driven a Rover 620Ti for 2 years between '97 and '99 I decided I was in the market for a performance saloon and this had to be it, the 620ti.

This car produces 197BHP as standard which is plenty to see off even the newest of BMW 328's and alike (same 0-60 as a new 330i Sport Tiptronic). It puts this power down through a 5-speed manual box, Limited Slip Differential and 205/50ZR16 tyres with traction control to keep everything in order. The suspension is sporty without being harsh, my friends all comment on how good the ride is.

I can tell you now that almost no-one expects it to have performance, especially not that much, even the Impreza's and 328's get a nasty surprise. These cars handle really well for a large saloon, capable of cornering far faster then a "hot hatch". With the suspension set up I have found the rear end breaks away first under cornering making it very fun to drive. I love this car and would recommend it to anyone, 3 of my friends are even thinking of changing from BMW's etc to these.

The ti also has fantastic brakes although under hard use with lots of heavy braking from high speeds the discs are prone to warping so I would recommend an upgrade for anyone intending to use the car like this.

The interior feels well made and the seats are great for country lanes without getting uncomfortable on long journeys (bought mine in Inverness then drove back to Essex in 12 hours with only petrol stops).

Newer cars, I think from '97 onwards have problems with the pistons not being to the same quality as the older ones.

This car was never built as a sports car, more a luxury sports saloon with very high performance matched only be 3 litre + Alfa's, BMW's and Audi's.

Overall I would say this has to be the best car I have driven and it's also very practical as it's a large 4 door saloon with a big boot.

Very quick car - people dont expect the Rover 620Ti to be a turbo and dont expect young people to drive them. I have beaten many subarus since buying mine and a lot of my mates have gone out and got one. They were all suprised how quick and comfy they are to drive. The best bit about the car for me is the look on peoples faces when the car rips past and gives a nice swoosh from the twin piston dump valve. GET ONE!

I love my Rover 620ti, it only cost me £6,000 a whole lot of fun to drive. It shocks a lot of people how powerful it is, including me when i first bought 1 year ago
