1993 Rover - Austin Metro L review from UK and Ireland
"Beautiful little ride, Well done Rover!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brake pipe on one side has corroded.
Timing belt snapped.
Water pump is broken.
Rear wheel arches are rotten.
General comments?
The best way to describe the car I would say is that it's a very pleasant little thing. The performance is fantastic for a 1.1, I have driven a lot of cars in my time and this has out-performed some of the bigger 1.5's. The interior I thought was very spacious I am 6'2" and 20 stones in weight I have no problem. The car is a fantastic little runabout and is very cheap to buy usually (mine cost me £50 on a J plate). And is recommended for first time buyers/drivers.
