well honestly i dont care what you drive but i do own a 94 2dr Hatch Back Metro. NO NO NO its not my only vehicle, i have an 87 Nissan Pickup that i go off roading, and occasional driveing with. and my Nissan is more of a beater than that metro is, shure ive had some mantenece issues with the car, but it wasn’t anything i could’nt handle. ive driven V8 trucks, V6 cars, you know “respectable vehicles” as compaired to the metro. and honestly NOTHING compairs to that little 3 cyl simply on the fact of repairs, mileage, and everything, shure it was a disposable car back in its day with a sticker tag of $7,000. but ive gotten the money back 50 times over, and the G10 engies in the cars are STUPIDLY easy to tear apart and put back together. so its an ideal car for the learning mechanic. not to mention i get 53 MPG WITH a 100 lb sterio in the car… and the simple fact of it all is these cars where not tuned right from the factory… they are retarded BADLY from the factory to reduce emmisions because the G10 engine will carbon up faster than you think. and the retarded timeing and still bad carbon buildup in the EGR system end their lives with burnt valves. and all you have to do is advance the cam timeing by 10 degrees and then advance the distributor timeing about 8 degrees, seafoam the car once per every other oil change to keep the EGR system clean and the car will actualy gain some bottom end and a few MPGs.

Would i own a car like that??? yes. i would bid on that car if it wasnt on the other side of the country. would i pay $7,000 for it?… probably not.

And you all with your big SUVs are like “i wouldn’t drive a Gay ass Metro” well i had just done a road trip from Baton Rouge Louisiana, to Harrisonburg Virginia. One way. i only burned 2 tanks of gas. 16 hour drive, 20 gallons of gass. and it swings up to 80 quick for a 3 cyl because between 65-75mph is your power band of 3,500 Rpm- 4,000 rpm.

sorry for the rambleing… just love my daily driver that ive had since High School

there's plenty of cars that get good gas mileage so why consider this car, especially if the price of them is now going up then there is really no point in buying one financially speaking!

I think the question is, who WOULDN'T drive one. About six years a go, a man came in and bought a metro. He was about 6'4" and weighed around 350lbs. Even big dudes want them.

I love metros but I'd rather have a lebaron convertible.

I would most definitely buy one with that kind of gas mileage going on.

My first car was a 92 Metro LSI convertible. It had the same interior, bumpers, and lights as the car pictured above (I point that out as most of the ones you see in convertible form are 90-91 models).
Mine was in "Tropical Blue" and I had American Racing wheels on it.
A fun little car that I loved. It met it's end when I hot a GMC Sierra. A local scrapyard fixed it up and sold after buying it from an insurance auction.

Ready for a suprise? I'm 6'2 and I never once felt anything close to cramped or uncomfortable in my Metro. I would reccomend them to someone who wants a budget convertible any day.
