1997 Mazda 121 Metro review from Australia and New Zealand
"Slow but practical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Quite spacious for a small car, but the performance, especially the acceleration is worse than other comparable cars. Also it has a lot of body roll and the brakes are far from exceptional. The car also has some annoying rattles and creaks.
