1997 Chevrolet Metro Lsi review from North America
"This is a highly reliable very fuel efficient vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner compressor failed after 150,000.
Automatic Door Locks failed at 75,000.
Broken bottom side plastic cover around passenger front seat.
General comments?
This car has been an EXCELLENT vehicle. I get 41-43MPG when not running the a/c in highway driving. I will get about 38-39 with a/c in mostly highway driving. The manual transmission provides enough power and response, but the automatics should be avoided. The automatics are horribly underpowed on the 3 cylinder 2 door model and the 4 cylinder 4 door model. My car is a four door.
