1994 Rover - Austin Metro Tahiti Limited Edition review from UK and Ireland
"An ideal first car for a new driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery keeps going flat and doesn't hold its charge very well.
The car doesn't respond in first gear for a least three seconds, it just crawls and then suddenly flies off.
The car is leaking water and there is a huge puddle on the driver's side floor.
General comments?
This car is cheap to run.
It is an ideal first car, because it is small and easy to park.
The steering is heavy and power steering would be helpful.
It is very comfortable, and it feels safe to drive.
