Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: hates gas, adorable, roomy enough, fast, safe, cheap, decent in the snow, the love!
Cons: the way the A/C made it feel like going uphill in 5th gear
The Bottom Line: With gas over $3 a gallon, everyone needs this car in their driveway!
When I visited the Chevy dealership that November morning back in '98, I knew exactly what I wanted. And when I walked into the showroom she was there, waiting for me. That adorable smile greeted me and I fell head over heels in love! My dad pointed ... read more

What can I say about this car but "I LOVE IT" I owned (actually, still do) a 1992 Geo Metro 2 dr HB 5speed manual and I could not believe that car. I am a courier and that car just goes and goes and goes. It held up so well over the last 3 yrs that I had ... read more

I got my 1998 Chevy Metro in March of 1999. My grandfather bought it for me but little did we know at the time he was very, very sick and not in his right mind. Within four months, the car had seven oil leaks and the air conditioner went out in it. ... read more

My husband and I purchased our 1998 two door Chevy Metro in the Spring of 1998. We were tickled pink to get this car being that we were a young married couple on a tight budget. For the first year our Metro was a hit! It is never thirsty for gas....We ... read more
