1984 Rover - Austin Metro L review from Cyprus
"Can be your best friend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gear box died at 72000.
I often have oil leaks from nowhere.
I have to replace the front tires with the rear ones every once in a while.
General comments?
Very nice for first car.
It has up to 185 - 190 km/h top speed. Very fast for its class.
It's very easy to drive even if you're on a motorway.
It is not smart to push this little car to its limits because it is very easy then to lose control.
