Rover 45 Hatchback (2000 - 2004) 1.4 Spirit S 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
A bit small, I've got long legs and big feet, so I feel a bit cramped from the waist below. Can sometimes clip wrong pedal. But the car on a whole is making me smile every time I begin a drive! It doesn't feel like a 1.4, it feels bigger and although only a 100 or so horses it's enough, it utilises it's torque phenomenally, handles great. My car had new brakes, tyres fitted which glues it to the road. When i bought it, all the parts still look new and cared for, after all it only had 38k on the clock. I've got a great practically new car with a long MOT, all for £300!
How reliable do you find the car?
It's a 16 year old car. I was expecting knocks and rattles, with a few bits to replace, but no. Drives like new and feels like new. Ive looked all over and under the car for signs of rust, decay or possible failiure, but nothing, it's going to last a while!Does the car do everything you expected it to do?
Ok, so I'm 25, naturally this car was not my first choice. It is now. It's a brilliant little thing!About their car
