"Through out its life it recieved many critisms about reliability, rust and build quality, but averall it was given good marks in road tests and lasted it's 12 years in production very well. If only it had recieved to build quality of the last models at it's launch it would have held it's price and reputation alot better."

La réputation de non-fiabilité de la Maestro-Montego a tué Rover :-? Et c'est Honda qui a pris le controle.

1994cc 'Perkins' Turbo diesel

"The Perkins Diesel (code named Prima) was first seen in the Maestro van in 1986, it ran without a Turbo charger in the van and was very noisy and harsh. It was based on the 'O' series block with a direct injection head, the Montego was one of the first mass production cars to be offered with a direct injection diesel instead of the quieter and more refined indierect injection units. Although it suffered form more vibration than its main rivals, the Montego was quicker, and alot more fuel efficient. Even by todays standards where diesel cars have come along way in the last 10 years since the Montego TD was launched, it can still out permorm a modern direct injection diesel on the economy run!"
