 'Metropower's James May' Posts: 2977     Location: Southport, North West | As the metro is off the road, I needed something which was comfy for my drive to work and did at the very least, the same mpg as the metro used to get. After searching for a couple of weeks and looking at quite a few cars(some rougher than others) I settled on this:      For a size comparison next to my dads RR:  The car is a 1999 Vitesse Sport, only 58 left on the road and has the 200bhp T series turbo with LSD and electric everything including climate control and sunroof! Costs me £600 a year insurance and is comfy enough for work as well as having a nice turn of pace when needed. | ||

 | Had one years ago, and loved it. Clutch went after messing about, and i just left it up the mountain. Went back and it was a crisp  Why not become a sheep and part of the crowed and drop the lump into a ZR? Fastest car around then. Well so they say on .org  | ||

Well so they say on .org Surely the 800 is more of an investment right at the start of when its valur will climb soon given its rarity and age? Be a shame to see another go.... ZR t series vs Metro vvc ..... ? What we reckon? | ||

ZR t series vs Metro vvc ..... ? What we reckon? Round a track a metro would hammer a ZR-T but on a straight I wouldn't really want to put my money in either car. Sadly, a lot of the .org lot belive otherwise and wont accept anything other than the ZR-T being the best car in the world ever. | ||

Transport Guru MP Moderator Posts: 4947 Location: Bromley, Kent | CJ, the 'electric everything'....are they still? lol  Guess the low point of gravity and power to weight just makes the Metro faster. Like how the 1.8 Elise [k series?] is one of the fastest cars round the Top Gear track. | ||

drive it like its hired | Just leave it stock dude, keep it nice, should appreciate in value I know what you mean though, even small cars these days feel so much heavier than a metro (because they are!) | ||

'Metropower's James May' Posts: 2977 Location: Southport, North West | This is the 800 coupe Well the front needs bringing down a little bit but otherwise its not so bad, really smooth and absorbs bumps nicely. Have found the brakes are a bit crap when at motorway speeds and the economy isn't amazing but doing the same route as the metro, the last tank got 26mpg compared to the metro 28mpg due to the traffic etc. Overall, very impressed as it just sailed through the MOT with no advisories and keep getting people coming over and asking about the car and commenting about how good the condition is. | ||
