1993 Rover - Austin Metro Impression 3-door from UK and Ireland - Comments

The Metro has been reliable so far and the last time it went into the garage was to have a punctured tyre fixed.

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.

Metro Impression edition? The only impression these cars can do is of one with no redeeming features! These cars are not good, I SAID, THESE CARS ARE NOT GOOD!

This guy is obviously very pleased with his Metro which is all that matters. In my opinion, they were a good car let down by build problems and poor marketing.

'kay, spose.

If theyre so good, why have you said you wouldn't buy another?

Whoever said that metro's are not good, is mistaken. They are good little cars and what is more important is that they are reliable. Oh, by the way, I wonder what car you drive.

He/She probably drives a lada and is too ashamed to say so!!

ROFLAMO.
