2004 Rover Streetwise 1.4 SE ~ Full walkaround, extended test drive and review.

‘Urban on-roaders’ - are they fun or foolishness?
To answer that question for myself I drive one of the cars that originated the concept, the Rover Streetwise, from the Pennines to the Peak District.

[@Mr_Boaty]

I’m jealous! I need one in my life. And thank you! 😊🙏

[@glenmason1876]

I've just subscribed boaty, nice channel, I have a rover 45 mk, 1, I've had from new, it's done 38 thou from new

[@tripemonger8916]

Salutations & welcome to the Crazy Gang!! 🖖😄

[@Mr_Boaty]

Oh, thank you so much! 😊🙏 I’d love to see your 45 on the Facebook group…

Good review Boaty, it is a very good car, it was previously owned by a mechanic before I bought it who was into his classic cars, Rolls Royce, 1950’s MG’s etc. I thought it was a bit slow even though it’s an SE and it says it’s 102bhp on the V5(could be a mistake on the part of the DVLA). Acceleration is somewhat “sedate” but it drives and handles really well as you found but I wasn’t all that keen on the seats, they seemed a bit flimsy, but aside from those things it’ll be a very good car for the next owner

[@Mr_Boaty]

There may not be a new owner! Mustard is rather smitten and set on having it as his daily/family car, and when he’s ready to move it on I’ll be trying to find a way for it to slip into my fleet…😉

[@kevincraven4038]

The Volvo 480ES had a similar rear seating arrangement with a central cubby/armrest...

[@Mr_Boaty]

Gosh, and I owned one of those! Clearly it wasn’t as memorable as the Espada…😉

[@Mr_Boaty]

It would seem so! 😉

[@stevesj80]

Id love one of these but you never see them up Scotland way for sale

[@Mr_Boaty]

I’ve got a passport - buy one from England and I’ll deliver it to you!

[@simonbrader8408]

You were a bit unclear on one point ; perhaps you could clarify. Are the seats any good?

[@Mr_Boaty]

Yeah, they were ok actually! 😉🙄🤣🤣
