1999 Chevrolet Metro Coupe review from North America
"A good car for what it is designed to be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC system has failed to work first time I attempted to use it each spring. In 2000, the evaporator was replaced under warranty. In 2001, the condenser was replaced under warranty. I am waiting to see if it fails in 2002, but am still under warranty until August. Beside the AC issues, have not had any other problems at all.
General comments?
This car is used solely to commute to work daily. My commute is 10 miles each way, between suburbs, two and four lane roads with maximum speed limit of 45 MPH. The Metro is perfect for this use, economical and reliable. I would not want to use this car however, if I had to do any highway driving. For family use we drive a 1995 Jeep Cherokee, the Metro is definitely not a family car, I am the only one who drives it. I am 6', 250 lb, and fit just fine. Overall it is a great metro (no pun intended) commuter.
