1991 Rover - Austin Metro GTi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem in 6 years with this car has been an electrical problem traced to a chafing wire which caused a short.
General comments?
Drives like a go-kart. Good acceleration and handling. It's too noisy for long motorway journeys.
Could have done with power steering as parking is hard work.
Surprisingly comfortable compared to old Metros.
