The press were frequently pretty scathing of MG-Rover's products before the company's demise, but the cars offer a lot in return for very little cash. The 25 and ZR may be little more than a warmed-up 200 dating back to 1995, but the cars ride well, are good looking and cheap. Build quality is usually OK as well, but niggles can be very frustrating so check everything works, that the trim isn't damaged and ensure there's no corrosion.
