1994 Rover - Austin Metro Nightfire review from UK and Ireland
"Great first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A little welding underneath required for MOT.
General comments?
Great fun to drive, it's really nippy around town for such a small engine!
Nightfire model, so gets shiny metallic paint!
Handling very good, especially on country roads.
Starts up first time and runs well.
Very frugal on petrol, although the fuel tank is rather small.
However:
Rust on rear arches goes without saying.
Struggles up steep hills, or when there's more than one passenger.
