Rover 75 praised in daily telegraph

welshie · 7th April 2016, 11:09

Today's Daily Telegraph features the 75 as being a bargain buy and premium quality purchase against similar cars from the early 2000's. Good article from Richard Bremner, who can be highly critical at times over today's offerings. Check it out - will make you feel proud of your choice!

Sounds about right for an auto, maybe

Nice to read that it's not a "reporters review" but an owners recommendation.

I don't understand the bit about the expensive to fix clutch on a manual: true, they do go and it's not cheap to replace it and the clutch whilst it's off, but it's no more expensive than what he paid for the timing belts swap and you can guarantee the belts will need replacing again in the future...
