    Good Points: Very nippy and easy to drive. Mine is a 2 door and I can get three child seats in the back. My local scrap yard has 4 in stock so parts are very easy and the car is easy to work on.


    Bad Points: Can rust around arches and sills, but so can all cars, the fan belt is a pain to adjust, you have to remove front wheel and wing liner. So buy a new one and do it once. Cooling system must be kept in top condition or the head gasket will blow.


    General comments: The cooling system needs a flush every 2 years to keep it in top condition, then the head gasket won't blow, but 1/2 hour every couple of years is OK. Also the rear trailing arms need greasing every year or they will fail, but again £5 for a grease gun and it's a 10 min job.

    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 ...
