Rover Metro 1990-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Cheap as chips to buy. Mine was £650 for 1 owner and only 39,000 miles.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Parts and servicing are cheap. Tyres are an odd slightly pricy size.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Like a go-kart, lots of grip to a point, then lots of easily controlled understeer.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not bad. Certainly surprises people, gets out of breath at higher revs.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not let me down anywhere and starts everytime.

    It's a Metro, but peoples' opinions change after a ride.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Seats are good, but interior is very sparse and the car is quite noisy.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Very flimsy doors/locks, no alarm. Not too worried though.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not tried, no need.
