"My wife bought this car so that I wouldn't have to drive my gas guzzling truck to work and back. I'll start of with appereance. The car looks terrible. It is hideous and extremely cheap looking. The interior isn't much better. It is bare bones. No tachometer! Performance. The car has a 1.3 liter motor. Yes, you heard me right. 1.3 liters. It has the acceleration of an elderly turtle. It handles like such. As a result driving to work is now a chore instead of being fun. Gas milage is good, but not worth it for me. As a result I am going to find my least favorite in-law and give it to them. For your own sake, find something less utterly awful!!!"

"Have owned my 96 Metro for one month.This four door has air,automatic and the 1.3 liter four cylinder. Have got close to 35mpg on all but one of four tanks so far. Bought this to drive to work 60 miles roundtrip daily. No problems to speak of replaced the thermostat for seven dollars. With only 90000 miles I should be saving on gas for several years to come."

"i owned a metro back in 1995 although that experience w/ the 1991 model wasnt so great...i loved it when i saw these lil newer models out...and always wanted one again but with the 4 cylinder engine which is what i have now...a used 1996 lsi hb model...and its cherry red...so makes for a great convo piece and go getter on the freeways as well...i got mine thru a private party and i must say they kept it in good shape altho the inside was a bit stained in a few places i didnt care, thats an easy quick fix...i call my car "ladybug", yes you may laugh but in the long run, its the best thing ive had since driving any car in the last 15 yrs..."
