1991 Rover - Austin Metro GTa 8v review from UK and Ireland
"A powerful little beast!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox - leaked oil, trying to fix now!
Tyres - very expensive, odd size.
General comments?
The Metro GTa is an incredibly quick car that enables you to nip in and around larger lumps of metal!
Quite easy to modify apart from alloys as it has an odd stud pattern.
With the power of a 1400 and a very light weight car, it's hard not to fly off into the distance!
Very hard car to insure as a 17 year old driver - £1800!
