Hi

We intend to rent a car to tour UK for about
2 weeks ...

so far the cheapest we can get is for Ford Fiesta 1.1 / Rover Metro 1.1

we are wondering if a 1100cc car is good enough for UK motorway
or should we get a bigger car ( more $$) ...

any commends?

Thanks !

Both of these should do you fine. Both will easily cruise at 80 mph for
long distances (and that's about the maximum without serious risk of being
stopped for speeding).

I'd go for the Rover Metro myself, nice little car, good acceleration/parking
round town. Never have liked Fiestas.

Mind you I wouldn't recommend anyone over six feet tall to travel for long
periods on the rear seats of either of these two cars!
