1990 Rover - Austin Metro S 1.1 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Basic!
Faults:
We were replacing wheel bearings at regular intervals.
Had to have a suspension knuckle joint replaced.
The rear wheel-arches rotted something chronic.
The radiator had to be replaced, but cost peanuts to fix.
General Comments:
Reliable, nippy and practical, but not big enough for two children and their clobber. When we only had one kid, we had to drop one of the seats to fit a pram as well as a suitcase.
That said, it cost very little to run and never broke down. We kept it for seven years until we grew out of it (and I was worried we wouldn't have much left but a pile of rust).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
