1998 Chevrolet Metro Base Hatchback review from North America
"Good basic transportation for the budget conscious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
EGR valve at 80000.
Dome light quit working back in 2001.
Speakers are now beginning to crackle.
General comments?
This car is slow, noisy and has a rough ride. It is a good city car, but a lousy freeway cruiser.
The seats are hard and not very comfortable.
Gas mileage is incredible, never less than 40 mpg and usually closer to 46.
This car has its faults, but when you consider it was less than seven grand brand new, it was a great buy.
This is a surprisingly tough little car, basic transportation at its best. Too bad they quit making them.
