1994 Rover - Austin Metro S review from UK and Ireland
"A very fun, reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing whatsoever!
General comments?
This car is seriously fun and easy to own, mine was a sporting S spec and has a very upmarket interior and the performance from the 1.1 litre engine is excellent! The grip is great and the handling is very fun indeed. Standard stereo with 4 speakers is also good but this car is a nightmare to clean!!
You have to carwash it, then jetspray it! The design is simply so old now and the plastic bumpers are all updates on previous Metros so it is very difficult to clean properly. Gearbox is excellent though.
Dealer really doesn't want to know (Douglas Grahams Windsor), they really don't want Metros on there on the forecourt!
