1987 Rover - Austin Metro Surf 1.0 benzine super
Summary:
Super fast, super small, super
Faults:
Because of the Mediterranean climate, rust is Metro's greatest fear. The exhaust needed to be changed, and there is a lot of rust behind the wheels.
General Comments:
It's engine is full of life. It can do 160km/h!
I've driven many cars in my life, but none handles like it! The hydraulic suspension system is just great for mountain roads. I can't say the same about my back.
It seems impossible, but it only needed 9lt of fuel (benzine super) for a 235km trip (3.8lt/100km)!
It's easy to find any part of it, used or new, but not the tires. There are 7 new tires for it all over Greece, and I have bought 4 of those.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
