1988 Rover - Austin Metro City X review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously cheap motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong other than the rear brakes which needed a new set of shoes due to normal wear.
The material of the sun visors has rotted with age.
General comments?
An excellent car which is 100% reliable.
Apart from the rear brake shoes, I have not spent any money on repairs or maintenance, and it passes MOTs with flying colours. Three years motoring for £500, not a bad deal.
