1989 Rover - Austin Metro GTa review from UK and Ireland
"The most underrated small car ever!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than tidying up the car and sorting the normal metro rust (minimal) the car has been a good buy at only £275 with 5 months MOT at the time.
General comments?
Great car, nippy around town, great fuel economy and if things do need replacing local breakers always have spare parts available.
I've never driven such an addictive car since I had my old Nova SR 1300.
This is more fun as the handling is better and it feels exactly like a large go-kart!
