From afar, it actually looks a lot like a Jag.(2) Ride & handling - the 75 borrowed a lot of BMW chassis tech, including the Z-axle from the E36 3-series. Handling is not BMW-sharp (no thanks to front wheel drive) but it will beat most Jap mobiles hands down.(3) Cabin ambiance - if you like Jags, Rolls Royces and the like, you'll like the 75's cabin. Its Cool Brittania all the way! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Cons(1) Parts will be hard to source, especially for the petrol engines, since Rover went bankrupt quite a while ago, and the K-series engine which the 75's use are no longer in production. The diesel-powered 75's will be easier to care for since they use BMW's 2.0 diesel lump, shared with the Land Rover Freelander and the 320d (E46)(2) No official support - the dealership, Brooklands Motors, has switched to selling Citroens instead.(3) Not many independent workshops familiar with this brand or model. You'd be lucky if they even have the correct software to run diagnostics.Good luck, bro!</blockquote>
