A nippy little car. Will do 100mph with enough space. Drop the clutch hard enough and the wheels will spin fairly easily.
The steering wheel seems to be a little off to the left of the driving position though.
The spec level on this model is very low, no intermittent wiper, no cigar lighter socket.
The insurance is expensive, as a 17 year old male, for my own insurance policy it is a minimum of around £2000, and a whopping £700 to be named driver.
Not one for the modifiers, it costs around £150 to get it lowered, won't take bigger than 14" wheels without serious effort, and parts are hard to come by.
Overall a good little car, wouldn't want to go a long way in it, but not too bad at all.
I'm a 17 year old girl and my insurance is bloody expensive too. I've got a 1994 Tahiti and it is so basic. No cigar lighter or intermittent wiper. When I brought the car there was no bloody stereo or speakers. I've put a mini-disc head-unit and pioneer 6x9's in the parcel shelf. I've made a centre console, and I'm getting a set of 3 spoke alloys, 13" coz I can't fit much bigger ones on the midget car. Anyway good luck with your metty, I'm having fun with mine, it's a nippy little bugger!
I'm a 20 year old male, who inherited my tahiti metro through my nan as a bithday gift. To be honest the car has done me proud. its got me to Devon and back 3 times. i had it when it was on 18000 mileage, and now its on 38000 so done me well. I've had the car for two years now as had no option due to movin from job to job. its startin to play up now. the cd player doesn't want to know. when reversing and then going into first it decides it like to stall?the car has been in 4 repair 4 times as the speed bumps been causing choas with it, and my speed doesn't help either I suppose haha. i wish you the best with ur metro as like I say I can't complian.
