Okay, here's a defence of Montegos. I used to work for a Rover dealership when the last of the Montegos were rolling off the production line, and they were getting increasingly tricky to sell, so I've driven a lot....!
Last week, I tried a 2002 Vauxhall Vectra 1.8SXi, the much-vaunted "new piece of thinking". I can honestly say it was more sluggish, less engaging, and felt less well screwed together than the G-reg Montegos I drove on a daily basis. That new Vectra is a serious step back in my opinion from the pleasant driving machine that was - for example - a 2 litre Mk3 Cavalier.
So there.
