1989 Rover - Austin Metro City X review from UK and Ireland

Down pipe (for the exhaust) has disconnected 4 times.

Both seat mechanisms have broken, rear passengers cannot get into the car.

Window winder has become jammed.

Interior lining has become unstuck.

This car is brilliantly simple, most faults can be fixed with a little common sense.

Go-cart handling that is a blast around the city.

Huge amounts of space for such a small car, rear seats fold down into foot well to achieve van like qualities.

Biggest downfall is rust, I had a little scratch on one wing; the entire section needs to be replaced as the rust has spread.

Very loud engine, this engine was actually designed in the 1950's! This does however reduce repair costs.

Exterior looks are cute and cheeky, but they won't give you any credibility.

Surprisingly nippy when you are solo, quick off the mark, add any more passengers and the performance falls accordingly.

So, so cheap to run this will barely make any difference to your bank balance unless you are an 18 year old male like me.
