1993 Rover - Austin Metro 1.1s review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension needed repressurising.
Battery replaced under warranty.
Severe rust in bodywork.
General comments?
Could have been a great little car, mechanically very reliable, superb to drive with brilliant K-series engine. But rust, rust and more rust. If only the bodywork quality could have been better, I would still have this car. As it is I have replaced it with a Nissan, but I still miss my Metro. Come on Rover give us some decent bodywork and I'll be back for more!!
