General build quality, fit and finish was improved enormously from the old Metro, and the Rover Metro went on to win the What Car? Car of the Year award in 1991. The interior was altered with a new rounded instrument binnacle and instruments, a new steering wheel, new seats from the successful Rover 200 series, new door casings and other detail improvements. The Rover Metro of 1991 was in its second year.
