1993 Rover - Austin Metro Impression 3-door review from UK and Ireland
"It is so damn good, my next car has got to be a brand new one to justify a change!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Metro has been reliable so far and the last time it went into the garage was to have a punctured tyre fixed.
General comments?
The K-Series engine is a real gem for its size and age. Smooth, refined and unobtrusive, it feels like a bigger engine from a new car.
The handling is sharp and kart-like and the wheels are nicely-weighted for a car without power steering.
It's a pity the interior isn't quite up-to-date, made worse by the poor driving position. However, being an Impression edition, my Metro comes with full velour-trimmed seats and intermittent wipers as well as color-coded bumpers and wing mirrors.
