1989 Rover - Austin Mini City review from UK and Ireland
"The ultimate Mini beast!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Terrible oil leak that no one could seem to find or fix.
Exhaust kept falling off.
Accelerate cable got stuck on.
Trouble stating.
Wheel bearings went.
Anything that could really!
General comments?
This was my first car and after a test drive I just new I wanted it! Just the look of the Mini is great, it's a classic with tonnes of style.
Not the fastest of cars, but it doesn't need to be, its acceleration an ability to take corners at high speed s is great. Mine had a 10 inch steering wheel with bucket seats and it felt like you was driving a go-kart all the time.
Parking is so much easier wen you can just plonk it down anywhere. Also parts are quite cheap and fuel consumption is very good.
Ideal 1st car, wicked in the summer, poor in the winter. Id love to have another one, but as a second car, just for days out!
