1988 Rover - Austin Metro L review from UK and Ireland
"Old banger"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Chassis needed welding back together, but I suppose the car is pretty old...
Amazing ability to rust.
Door handle fell off.
General comments?
Not bad for a first banger I suppose, fairly easy to drive.
Terrible on the motorway, it shakes when you get to 70, and feels like it's going to fall apart.
It was nice to have 5 doors on such a small old car and I can fit a drumkit in the back fairly easily!
