1991 Rover - Austin Metro GTi 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Amazing car and very quick for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Gearbox. This on early metros is weaker than the later Rover 114 boxes, very easy to change though.
Rear radius arms needed replacing
General comments?
Arches on these cars always go due to the fact that they are not sealed or coloured on the inside.
These cars are rockets with 0-60 times of 8 seconds on the later GTi 16v metros.
The handling is amazing even more so after lowering.
Fuel economy is good.
Insurance is 13 band which is good considering.
Comfy seats.
Nice driving area.
Roomy for small car.
