The ROVER 45 (2000-05) 4DR SALOON 1.8 16V CONNOISSEUR STEP AUTO is a compact, four-door petrol saloon from the family-car end of the UK market. It offered a more traditional booted shape than popular hatchbacks such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, with an automatic gearbox for relaxed, straightforward driving. Connoisseur trim gives this Rover 45 a smart feel beyond a basic runabout, while its cabin and separate boot suit couples, families and commuters wanting an easy everyday car. The 1.8-litre offers useful performance, though this older petrol automatic is less focused on fuel economy than a modern small car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 16 look-ups across 12 VINs, so the snapshot is modest.
