1991 Rover - Austin Maestro LX 1.6 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Very practical cheap motoring
Faults:
Rust on arches/doors.
Exhaust fell off.
Leak from the roof.
General Comments:
Comfortable motoring. Very practical.
LX benefits from the power steering.
Economical for a 1.6 yet still pokey.
Butt of lots of jokes, but my J reg cost just £495 and I traveled all around Cornwall and Devon problem free.
Still worth about £400 after a year of motoring.
Lots of cheap spares available.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Can I say I have owned a lot of diesel cars and I have had a few diesel Maestros, I have even had turbo diesel Mondeos. I have never had anything as reliable as a diesel Maestro, never even had an oil leak in any of them, 10/10.
