1990 Rover - Austin Metro SL review from UK and Ireland
"A excellent little run around with enough to smoke most other 1.4 cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch at 38000 miles.
New radiator at 43000 miles.
General comments?
It is a good first car with not much body roll and excellent pick up on hills. I have had 124 mph out of it and the 0 to 60 is around 10 seconds.
The seats are very comfortable.
The back wheel arches need to be looked after or they will rust a little.
It is quite low to the ground and often scrapes on bumps if going too fast.
