Is this the wrong time to say that I had a 214i in that bodystyle?

It was crap laugh.gif

After 6 months of owning it I sold it to my dad's wife, who sold it to my sister.

It died last year with 130,000 miles and a warped cylinder head.

Ah what a lovely car, I dont know why I bought it, I really dont. Notice the Tipp-Ex repiat on the front bumper where the paint was coming off.

I was given one as a company car once, an upgrade from the elderly (and knackered) Escort 1.4 that I had before that, as the boss thought I might be planning to leave. I was, and did. grin.gif

Theyre really bad!!

The steering was SO heavy. I can only say one good thing for it, that it had VERY comfortable front seats, although a family run with five of us in it to Berwick wasnt fantastic. Ironic really. I had a brand new Citroen XM sitting outside the house with a broken suspension part, so we had to take the Rover. It was a comfortable drive for me and the wife, but the 13, 4, and 3 year olds in the back were less than happy!

No kidding, about a week after I got "upgraded", I took a junction as I would have done in the Escort, and because it just wouldn't turn at the same rate, I ended up almost taking a bollard out, and did manage to kerb the nearside front wheel so hard that the tyre burst. Oops.

And people call Audis fecking barges! grin.gif

LOL!

Indeed, I had trouble getting used to it. Hell, 1993 was a bad year for me!

It was a nightmare to park, it did 105mph flat out with a wind behind you, the rear windows would be sucked in and out at speed, my what a terrible motor, my dads wife did the best, after she had it a while, she went to take a turn, went straight on and got stuck in a hedge. I had to go down with the Range Rover and pull it out!

Plough on understeer
