Effortless driving, interior comfort & space, great handling an power (pulls like a train with a respectable 200bhp), great fuel economy averaging 30+ mpg round town and 40mpg+ on a cruise.

perhaps you should post a few pictures of an 827 coupe?

Personally Honda cars don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong fantastic engines and the partnership with Rover was good but their interiors remind me of my recycling bin, I must go, got to put my green bin out and do my bit for the ecology.

yeah yeah your funny along with all the personal mails I've received :lol: i did post in the none rover section along with a few others :shock: Anyway I do my bit for ecology by driving a more powerful, fuel efficient and reliable engine, but you already know that :roll:

I am aspiring to own 623-827 as restoration project as I have a great respect for the rover brand overall, in regards to interior comparisons I can’t think for life of me understand why plastic wood (often miss matched) trim or soft unsporting seats could ever make more appealing over a better constructed car lol but each to there own like you say.

British Leyland at the time of the triumph acclaim couldn’t teach Honda anything same was said for Rovers efforts, so go figure. So if you think your car is better than mine beloved Accord Coupe that’s fine m8y, still we both know which car will still be around in the next 15+ years don’t we.

Thanks for the warm welcome :?

I was going to say that the interior looked nice -especially the seats. The styling of modern Japanese cars is definitely not to my taste (by and large) but the rear end of this one does look better than the norm.

Thanks Richard

Personally I'm not a big fan of some of the more recent Honda's and not a big fan of civics in general, although loved my rovers and one that springs to mind was my 1995 rover 416 auto which i parked next to my neighbors 1993 Civic of which the rover shared the same platform, but you rover gurus know that anyway :D although the exterior panels on the Civic out lived the rover by a long stretch :(

Anyway my coupe was made in the USA an is far superior to its UK Swindon or Japanese built cousins :shock: the build, driving experience everything, reminds me of the roomy 800 :D

A side-by-side comparison would be interesting! :wink:
