Good Points

There are a few good points for these cars.1) they are always very cheap around £300. 2) cheap as chips to run on fuel. 3) they are quite economical.


Bad Points

The are only two bad points about the metro that is they rust very easily and the head gasket is paper thin


General Comments

If you want a cheap runaround then buy a Rover 100. I have had Alfa's, BMW 320, mk2 Golf 16v GTi, Escorts, an Orion, Mondeo's and now my third Rover Metro. They are very fun to drive and I will always say that I have never had so much fun in any of the previous cars that I have owned. They are seriously under-rated cars. It takes about the whole of 2 minutes to lower and when lowered handle like a gokart and for a 1.1 8 valve are quite rapid. I have gotten some good speeds out of one on the way to the scrappy to pick up parts for it and that was only the base model 1.1 8v k-series engine just imagine what the 1.4 GTi/GTa's can do and you can also fit any K-series engine into the bay as they all use the same engine mounts. So for all you people that say Metro's are poor, buy one first I'll bet you'll change your mind.
