1989 Rover - Austin Metro GTa review from UK and Ireland
"A faster first car than your mates!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing - this car goes on and on. Of course there has been the odd belt change etc.
General comments?
I've had this car since I was 17 and it's got to be the most fun for that sort of money. This is a first car must if you can get a good one.
The grip is exceptional and very predictable. There is plenty of fun to be had, especially on roundabouts!
The tyre size is awkward as is finding tuning parts etc, but if you persist, they are there to be had.
The sound proofing on them is pretty good as well, so you can fit a decent stereo!
