1991 Rover - Austin Metro L review from Netherlands
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much, if you look at the mileage (190,000 kilometers):
- new dynamo at 160,000 km.
- rust on rear wheel arches (quite bad).
- broken down hydragas suspension unit, rear left at 180,000 km.
General comments?
Very reliable, fun to drive, easy to park, multi-functional, 'exclusive' (for Holland, that is), cheap to run, comfortable little car. I've had mine since it was one year old and it never ever failed me. The engine is still running smoothly and runs 14 km on 1 litre.
