1988 Rover - Austin Metro Mayfair 1.0 petrol from UK and Ireland
Faults:
Fuel tank, suspension ball joints, brake pipes, rear suspension arms, suspension units.
General Comments:
This was my third metro. I don't know why.
These cars, especially the models under the Austin name are disappointing. The engines & gearboxes usually last well however the rest of the car falls apart around you. Rust is a particular problem around the front of the car. The hydragas suspension is costly to fix and gives a poor ride. Cheap to buy but maintenance a constant chore.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I want to by a car (second hand). The car is from 1988. The price is 1.100$.
I am from Romania. Where I can find spare parts for this car in my country??? We do not have many cars like this Rover in the country. Can be that a problem?
