1988 Rover - Austin Metro City X 1.3 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Seriously cheap motoring
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong other than the rear brakes which needed a new set of shoes due to normal wear.
The material of the sun visors has rotted with age.
General Comments:
An excellent car which is 100% reliable.
Apart from the rear brake shoes, I have not spent any money on repairs or maintenance, and it passes MOTs with flying colours. Three years motoring for £500, not a bad deal.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Don't buy a Rover Metro, as they are prone to overheating, lose power, water pipes exploded, handbrake packed up, need lots of friends to push you around, took 8 friends pushing and me in first gear to drive up a hill!!! Really embarassing!!!
Would I buy another... NO!!!
