1994 Rover - Austin Metro GTi 16v MPi review from UK and Ireland
"Reliable, cheap and fun pocket rocket!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
With a tune up this car is very quick and flexible. Pulls eagerly in 5th from 30mph! 0-60 around 8.0s.
Handling is go-kart like.
Interior a little cramped, nice sporty hugging front seats.
All in all a very sporty reliable car that is massively underrated. With very minor tuning this car is very quick and easily as good as other hot hatches.
