1991 Rover - Austin Maestro LX review from UK and Ireland
"Very practical cheap motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust on arches/doors.
Exhaust fell off.
Leak from the roof.
General comments?
Comfortable motoring. Very practical.
LX benefits from the power steering.
Economical for a 1.6 yet still pokey.
Butt of lots of jokes, but my J reg cost just £495 and I traveled all around Cornwall and Devon problem free.
Still worth about £400 after a year of motoring.
Lots of cheap spares available.
