When you choose a Rover 100, you get a great deal more than transport that's nippy, manoeuvrable and affordable to buy and run. Because it's a Rover, it's also sheer fun to drive. Sit behind the chunky threespoke steering wheel and you find all those characteristic Rover features the excellent driving position, controls that come easily to hand, and clear instrumentation.

You'll enjoy staying in tune with your favourite music, too. Every Rover 100 has a securitycoded electronic stereo radio/cassette as standard, and the set has a detachable keypad for extra protection. Auto reverse allows for continuous cassette play without you having to touch a button.

There's the reassurance of an anti-theft alarm, and a clever system which immobilises the engine even if you forget to set the alarm.

The majority of models also give you the pleasure of a glass sunroof which can either tilt up or be removed completely for carefree motoring on sunny days.

Why does the page about "Looking forward to driving" tell you about the alarm and the stereo? Why doesn't it tell you how much fun the Metro is to drive? Because it is a fun car to drive. Is it because you're not allowed to describe a Rover as "fun"?
