Practical Classics - Rover 75 V Jag S-Type
Hello folks, been a while as I sold my Rover 75 last year due to requiring a large load lugger so ended up with a Range Rover P38.
Anyway, I spotted that Practical Classics magazine have a head to head review of the Rover 75 and the Jaguar S-type now that they have both reached their 20th birthday. It seems a good article and the writer does not dissapoint with his view of the Rover 75. If I decide to replace the P38 with a car again then the Rover 75 will be top of my list of contenders, its proven to me to be reliable, is extremely comfortable and just looks so right. |

They are really positive, seem to recall the quote 'the rover is where we would put our money'

Ive owned both, The 75 is cheaper to repair and maintain the S type (ok mine was a 4.2 v8) is the nicer car with more toys IMO.
Oh the Heresy! Im so ashamed! I shall go a whip myself in a dark corner !!! Its still true though.......

I think the comments about the exterior styling are true though, the Rover does to me look a better balanced complete package and doesn't look awkward from any angle. Shame it's front wheel drive...
