1995 Rover - Austin 100 Kensington SE 1.1i from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Excellent little runner, cheap to buy and run
Faults:
Headlamp seal came off.
Wind noise from the driver's door at high speed.
Rear windscreen washer sprays everywhere.
Stiff gear changes (I think the clutch is faulty).
General Comments:
Dashboard is a little dated, could have been better updated from the Metro.
Always starts first time!
Lots of squeaks:
Steering wheel
Accelerator pedal
Drivers seat.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Rover Metro - Poor, piece of junk.
This chap is obviously wanting to get the earth (and the rest) from a 1 litre engined car with 67,000 miles on the clock. A Rover 100 Kensington doesn't have 'alloys' as standard which suggests that this car has led a hard life in the hands of a boy racer. Not all Metros are bad. Every barrel has a bad 'apple' in it somewhere but if any 'apple' is abused, it will turn bad. He is also using a bad dealer. Maybe he should change?
