1992 Rover - Austin Metro S review from UK and Ireland
"Another dodgy Rover"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan belt needs tightening every 500 miles.
Dodgy fuel gauge.
Rear wipers broke.
Passenger door keeps buckling.
Misfires a lot!
Sunroof leaks.
General comments?
Good first car really, although I wish I'd have gone for a Nova (etc) because it has no street cred at all!
Its got high milage so I'd expect it to be on its way to the scrap yard soon because it's badly built.
Considering it has 60bhp (high for a 1.1L) it's very slow and you have to have your foot on the floor though all gears.
Petrol consumption isn't very good either.
If you are old and drive slow... buy one!
