Essentially yes. A large amount of the engineering done in China using waaaaaay out of date rover specs.
Frightening. |

Yep we're all thinking the same, who'd touch an out of date, made cheaper, rehashed, different engines bodged in, poor panel gaps and I bet it doesn't even meet pedestrian or occupant safety standards.
AND then there's the MG... |

Munch90.... Dont try and be unique by being the first to buy one. You dont see them on the road for a few reasons! Firstly they are shyte and the ones bought are probably in a repair garage. Would you buy a maestro if it was re born?

I had a metro, great little car you can get a lot in them. Anyway when it was written off by a prat in a astra I made £ 460 profit on the car !
I had a CAT D write off maestro diesel van, it`s mpg was amazing but it was loud and slow. Made a profit on that too when it was very reluctantly sold due to then new girl friend taking one look at it and " I`am not going anywhere in that". Moral of the story keep away from girls called Alison if you want to keep your van (should have kept the van it was more faithful than she was) !! My step brother in law has had one for a year he seems to like it, it`s a bit plastic in side, but on the positive side it`s spent less time in the dealers than the defender !!!!! Excuse the spelling I`am better with spanners and wires. |
