The Austin Metro and MG Metro were a series of small city cars produced by British Leyland (later Rover Group) from 1980 to 1990. The vehicles were known for their distinctive boxy styling, front-wheel drive layout, and compact dimensions. Originally launched as the Austin Metro, the model was later marketed under both Austin and MG badges, with the MG version receiving sportier styling and performance upgrades. The Metro was aimed at the lower end of the market and was designed to be affordable, economical and practical. The Metro was a success in the UK, being one of the best-selling cars for several years. It was also exported to other markets, including Europe, Australia, and South Africa. The Austin Metro and MG Metro were available in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a van. The model range was powered by a selection of small petrol engines, ranging in displacement from 998 cc to 1275 cc. While most versions utilized a 4-speed manual transmission, a 5-speed manual and 3-speed automatic gearbox were also available for certain models. The Metro was a simple and reliable car, known for its good fuel economy and easy maintenance. It was also praised for its spacious interior, despite its compact dimensions. However, the Metro was criticized for its lack of performance, with many critics noting its slow acceleration and limited top speed. The Metro was also criticized for its basic interior and its somewhat dated styling. Despite these criticisms, the Austin Metro and MG Metro remained a popular choice for city-dwellers and families on a budget throughout their production run.
