Austin Metro (1981 - 1992) 1.0 L 5d Owner Review

1.0 L 5d
Austin Metro Hatchback

In their own words

I absolutely love the car, I smile for no reason when i drive or even look at it. Instantly a talking point and also i can get into car shows with it. only paid £300 for the car and its the best £300 i have ever spent. Insurance is an extra £10 more than my mk6 fiesta however i don't have to worry about a black box anymore.

How reliable do you find the car?

My Metro is rather bouncy on the back. So its difficult to find information about the hydrolastic suspension. However since they're old everyone's knowledgeable and can give you a helping hand.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

So fun to drive and I have the biggest smile on my face even if its for 15 minutes. just be prepared to warm up the car for about 10 mins (Summer not winter).
