1998 Chevrolet Metro review from North America
"Underpowered for most people, I find it a joy to drive and pay very little for fuel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Defective wiring made the engine miss.
Low idle solenoid defective.
Two other computer-like controls were defective.
General comments?
Lost the use of the car for 5 weeks while the dealer repaired various items.
It's a nice car when running - gets about 45mpg average.
