1990 Rover - Austin Maestro LX review from UK and Ireland
"A good bargain tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much at all... an exhaust (a bit pricey) and central locking works selectively.
Radiator is on its last legs and I've chucked the radio away!
Trim crumbles with use.
General comments?
Good all rounder, comfortable and not too bad on the motorway. Easy to service.
Real easy target for sods who screwdriver locks!
Made of rubbish steel and rusts badly, but overall good.
