Rover has produced so many 'last chance saloons' that by now they've become rather good at it. The 75 range is the product of Rover's disastrous spell under the governance of BMW, and if you were expecting the car's abilities to mirror the organisational fiasco that overwhelmed Rover, you'd be quite wrong. The 75 is arguably the best Rover model to date, ruthlessly aimed at a specific target audience and offering good value. As a used proposition, the 75 fares well, with high demand despite fairly strong resale values.
The Rover 75 is a British-built car to be proud of. Currently riding on a wave of goodwill, the 75 is a car that can be bought with head as well as the heart. If you want a car that's refined, sophisticated and which has more of a presence and sense of occasion than any of its rivals, take a look at a Rover 75. There's not a bad choice across the entire range, though the 2.0-litre V6 automatics are particularly smooth. With quite a few examples now landing in the used network, take your time to track down a good one. It's worth the effort, as the 75 will still look good on your drive ten years down the line.
