'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.'

“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.”
