1991 Rover - Austin Metro GTi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"1.6 Corsas and Balenos are hopeless against my baby."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Within 10 years, and 111,000 miles all I have had to do, apart from the odd service here-and-there, is replace the thermostat and the oil pressure switch.
General comments?
Like the rest say, it handles sweetly and goes like no other small car... totally underestimated, mainly by Corsa and Baleno drivers..
