Rover 623. Horrid!
Same wallowy suspension as in the 400 series. When mated to an engine with a bit of poke you and up with scary handling!
Used to have too much body roll, would understeer far too easily and had brakes best described as "wooly"
Interior was typical Rover. Plastic and wood coloured plastic. Seats were uncomfortable and everything just felt flimsy.
Alas I drove 2 of them on a regular basis when they were less than a year old. Would not like to drive one now!
Not driven the ZT. I have extensively driven the ZS though, in 120 & 180 guises.
Both much better than I expected. ZS180 is rather good fun and handles very well, but engine sounds a bit harsh when you rev it, which you need to do to keep the power on tap.
Honda Legend....hmmm
I have a friend who has just sold his 3.5 V6... and has bought a 3.0 X type.
It was a very nice car. Very comfortable, quiet, powerful and smooth with lots and lots of toys.
However, the suspension wallows far too much and talk about thirsty! It averaged 21mpg!
He was thinking of a late elite but then got his boss' old company car at a fabulous price.
