...for those who grew up in the 80's and 90's

I like metros tbh be nice for starter cars to practice with and just dodging about to the shops in. Might get one like the OPs shows if i ever have the money to afford and run a car.

I wouldn't have one to drive around in my garden. I might hit a rouge dandelion and write the thing off.

The Metro turbo was the biggest pile of crap ever! Wheezy old engine that chewed up gearboxes and primary geartrains with *just* 93HP lol

My parents had one when I was a baby. They've bought nothing but Volvos since.

Not seeing the appeal of that metro!

Mate had one when I was about 16. He'd come and pick me up and we'd go for a smoke. Then he bought a Rottweiler. We're both over 6ft so were shoe-horned into it with the dog in the back seat. Think the engine fell out of it when he was going to work and the dog ate the back seat.

I never lusted after these, not when there were things like the RS2000, 2.8i Capri and even the Audi Coupe to go all dribbly tongued over

I grew up in the 90s and wasn't even aware of their existence (well, I knew their existence but didn't care).

It was all about the R33 Skyline GTR for me
