I did find the fuel consumption a little on the high side, even when I was not exploring 7000rpm, but it was reliable and did sound great. I think I would have no hesitation recommending one but if you're planning to tow anything, then the 2.5 20V is definitely the one to go for.

If you're planning to tow, get the 2.5 10v, or even better for towing, the 2.5T (ie lpt).

I have to agree with Davef, the 2.5 20V is top notch, mines got 150,000 on it and is quite happy to Rev all day long, if you want a comparison with your Rover, I absolutely mullered a boy racer in his Astra 1.6 16V today. (private test track) .
