'The 75’s biggest problem was its image; potential buyers just assumed it was hopelessly outclassed by rivals. Nothing could be further from the truth though, as the car could compete on equal terms with some prestigious adversaries' - Honest John
'Positives: A fine looking car from all angles. Destined to become a classic'
'Negatives: Let down by cooling system problems on all K-Series engines, particularly the 1.8' - Parker's
'Pros: Rover refinement and heritage. Handsome looks and a charming, comfortable interior.'
'Cons: Mid-range Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz .' - RAC
'The Rover 75 Tourer is one of those rare ... cars that retains a genuine sense of occasion whenever you get behind the wheel. The retro clocks and the buttoned down rectitude of the detailing all contributes to a huge feel good factor.' - Verdict On Cars
'Recommended. The standard 75 has an elegance missing from German executive car rivals, with wood and leather harking back to a bygone age. The Tourer estate models are, surprisingly, even prettier and very practical indeed.' - What Car?
'For - It's excellent over long distances and smoothes out bumps like a luxury car. It's cheap, well equipped and practical, and comes with olde-worlde charm.'
'Against - Reliability problems.' - Which?
'For: rock-bottom prices | strong diesel engine | lots of equipment | comfortable'
'Against: patchy reliability | hefty depreciation | no dealer network | limited warranty' - Wise Buyer's
'The elegant 75 showed that Rover ... could build a quality executive car that's refined, reliable, good to drive real presence.'

Famous quotes containing the word reviews:
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank.”
—Wladziu Valentino Liberace (1919–1987)
“Why do I do this every Sunday? Even the book reviews seem to be the same as last week’s. Different books—same reviews.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
