All the Metro advantages are here

The Metro L can be said to personify the Metro concept of low cost, high luxury, versatile family motoring. All the essential Metro advantages are here, including the versatile 'split action' rear seat, which lets you choose between more people or more luggage before every journey.

With the highly developed 1.0 A-plus engine, the Metro L combines sparkling performance, precise handling and impressive fuel economy. Seats are upholstered in an attractive and hardwearing cloth material and there's a wealth of stowage space; fitted companion boxes for the driver and front seat passenger, a lidded glovebox, handy trays above the fascia and the full-length rear parcels shelf which can be removed or folded down and locked away when not in use.

Metro L features, notable for their absence in a lot of small hatchbacks, include twin rear fog guard lamps, reversin lamps, muflaps, a dipping interior mirror, vizors with fitted ticket pocket and vanity mirror, a soft-feel steering wheel, trip mileage recorder, heated rear window, comprehensive heating and ventilation system, front and rear electric screenwashers, two-speed front and rear electric wipers with flick facility at front. Grab handles, concealed seat belt reels and gas-filled telescopic tailgate assisters. Plus - unique to all Metro's - the cost-saving benefits of 12,000 mile or once-a-year servicing.

The ideal family car of our time. The Metro L.
