"Cheap, reliable, but disappointing"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers side gas suspension unit broke leaving me stranded.

Radiator corroded and had to be replaced.

General comments?

A good first car that transported me to and from college. Only ever broke down twice in the year I had it, but not too expensive to fix.

The bodywork is very thin and the doors do have a tendency to buckle. Rust on the rear arches also is a characteristic.

I would however recommend this car highly to first time buyers on a budget. They can be picked up for very little these days and insurance is a bargain.

Not the cheapest car on petrol (for a 1.1 l).

I had a Rover Metro and everything went wrong with it. I was never so glad to see it go. Read my review never buy one.
