1988 Rover - Austin Metro City review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump failed in 1995.
General comments?
I have owned this car from new and it has never let me down. The engine is small but reliable and it does the job very well. As long as you keep them well oiled they will go forever. The seats are a little uncomfortable for long journeys and the bodywork needs looking after, but for a first car it is absolutely wonderful. Shame they are not made anymore.
