CityroverThe CityRover is a small automobile from MG Rover Group, launched in the autumn of 2003 as a rebadged version of the Indian Tata Indica. Its 1.4-litre petrol engine was one of the biggest available on a car in the city car sector. The exterior styling was reasonably attractive even though it was largely the same as an Indian-built car which had been in production since 1998. Interior space and comfort were good for such a small car. Moving up through the range, the CityRover could be equipped with extras like electric windows, power steering and air-conditioning. Running costs were low, though its asking price was high against newer, more advanced competition. Going against the CityRover's appeal were its poor handling and low-quality interior trim. On balance, it was competitive against other budget alternatives. In the summer of 2004, just one year after the CityRover's launch, MG Rover announced plans to replace it with an all-new car within the next two years. Sales were short of MG Rover's targets so the CityRover was given an upgrade for the 2005 model year, with more standard equipment. It also slashed up to 900 off the list price of the range, admitting that the range had not been competitive with its high asking prices.http://www.whatcar.com/News_Article.asp?NA_ID=212803 CityRover
