    Bad Points:


    General comments: The Rover Metro 1.1 is a fast little thing. It is a very good car, its my first car, very nippy, good on hills if in right gear, i love it.
    The only bad point is, mine has a manual choke.

    I've got myself a GTI SE, and now a VVC. Don't be fooled by its typically underrated character and stereotypical views. It's a spanking little car, and the people who misjudge it are the ones you can beat. The owners of the Subaru's. Although, i'd be annoyed if i'd paid 20000 for a car and got overtaken by a metro :-) To be fair, I've had a few problems with it, but its a 200bhp per tonne go kart. Handles well, pulls all through the revs from 1200rpm in 5th! It'll knock anything N/A of the same ...

    I drive a Rover Metro 1.1. The top speed of it I don't know, because there is only 110mph on the clock and when it gets there it wants to go more!

    My Rover Metro is quick for what she is as I kept up with a Nissan Almeria to arond 60-65 mph before she ran out of puff but I know that she will hit 100mph. For its size it looks smaller than what it is. I would recommend one for a first car as it doesn't run away but don't mod it and after a year or two get a proper car.

    I have a Rover metro 1.1 K series. Its a 1992K 3 door with 52K in the clock. It is the carribean model but I have changed it to look like a GTA. It has the black wrap around spoiler, GTA stickers and GTA interior trim. It has a black diamond exhaust system. I only paid £250 for it with 12 months MOT. I still need the red bumber trim but I havn't got round to that yet. Cracking little first car.

    I didn't think they should have rebranded the Metro a Rover as Rovers should have been kept for big cars like the wonderful 75. However at least it had the feel of quality to go with it after the 1990/91 relaunch putting its plasticy rivals like the Fiesta into the shade. Right from the start it was a car to cruise in - smooth ride and an engine so quiet you hardly knew it was there. It's not the quickest through the gears but that's not really the point. Mine has been totally reliable and after ...

    My own car (a 1994 Rover Metro GTa) has never failed to start. It's quick enough without excessive modification, only exhaust system and air filter have been upgraded to straight through and free flowing items. Handling is not good with standard suspension, especially if you get one with slim tyres and no antiroll bar(s). Small conecting rods within the suspension system must be cut by an exact amount and the system re-pressurised to lower. Best is by far the GTi with 16v engine, front and rear ...
