I bought my metro when I was 19, what I wanted was a crazy fast go cart that I could fill with stuff and not have to fix. 2 out of three isn't bad. My model was a metro advantage, a revvy 1.3 mini engine in a limited edition metro turbo body kit. Essentially a large mini, the car handled great. The hydroelastic suspension was ...

Overall the K-series 1100 Metro/R100 is a good car for the money, but you get what you pay for. They are very lacking in refinement and safety, and have several defects in their design. If possible, try to avoid the 1.4 versions of the car with the 16v head, as these suffer from the dreaded K-series headgasket problems. The ... Read the complete review

My first ever car was a M reg Rover Metro Rio. We had a love- hate relationship, with the swingometer resting mostly at the tempestuous HATE end of the scale! It was a brief encounter, lasting only three months to be exact. She passed away one sunny carefree afternoon, when I rather too hastily drove over a speed bump! I didn't ever give ...

On the morning of my 17th birthday, my father drove me down to the local industrial estate, attached L-plates to the front and back of my mother's Rover Metro 1.1S, and let me get behind the wheel. I stalled it. More than 10,000 of my own miles (and 8 years) later, this is the only time I've done this. ... Read the complete review

Three years ago I fell in love with the Rover Metro and luckily, a colleague wanted to sell hers at the same time. So in September 1998 I became proud owner of a G-reg 1.3L Metro Clubman. It had only clocked up 42.000 miles and cost me a mere £1100, which I thought was a bargain. I think I liked it because I have always liked ... Read the complete review

All those people who knock the Metro as being a bad car really annoy me! The Rover Metro really is a car innovative in many ways, and although its a facelift of the previous metro, it is a great, fun car to drive. My model was a 1994 1.1S, which means you get body coded bumpers, remote locking, a sunroof, a racy sports ... Read the complete review

Well we had a little N reg Rover metro and as a family of 5, road journeys were very uncomfortable.It was too small and cramped in the back seats. They are a good little motor and my parents didnt really have any problems with it.Just its size. Because its under 1400cc engine it makes the insurance alot cheaper, so I ...

I own a P Reg 1.1 Rover 100 Knightsbridge SE and I am not ashamed of it. As a new driver (I only passed my test in January) I have had the pleasure of driving several cars (My instructor changed his car half way through my lessons) and I can safely say that the Rover is the best of the cars I have driven.

I have a Rover Metro and after reading the other reviews in this section I decided I had to defend my little Rover! I have had mine for a year now, it's K reg so it seven and a half years old. When the car was bought it had a 8000 miles on the clock and no, that's not a typo, it had only done eight thousand miles. The ... Read the complete review

After scrapping my Fiat 126, I was on the look out for another car. I was walking past a garage quite near me when I spotted a red C Reg. 1.3 Metro for sale with a price tag of £500. I asked the salesman if I could take it for a test drive, I took it for quite a run, and there didn't appear to be much wrong with it, the ... Read the complete review

We bought our E reg 1.3 Metro a year and a half ago. We wanted a small,economical 5 door car and we certainly got one. It's very good on fuel averaging 40 mpg and has been reliable. Thats the good points. On the minus side it's not very good to drive, the handling of Metros is poor. The car looks very dated against other ... Read the complete review

My full opinion of the Rover Metro (and, previously, the Austin Metro) isn't even type-able in here! Suffice to say that I hate it. With a vengeance! I come from a family where my Mother and Sister have both earned 2 in their time and even they learned the error of their ways when they finally got a "real" car! ... Read the complete review
