I would buy an Escort. I've got one with a 1.9 and a 5 speed manual. With the A/C on it can still accelerate like a rocket. It's got a lot more power and room than a Metro, and still gets 30-35MPG.

Summary:
A piece of crap!
Faults:
The car is a piece of junk!!!! It has absolutely no power. I had the car break down on me during the winter season and when it rains. It has to be perfect conditions for the car to run halfway decent. The door has fallen and after 10,000 miles it was in need of a tune up already.
General Comments:
These cars SUCK!!!!!! And they are the ugliest cars I have ever seen!!!!

I think you might be stretching the truth considering no one else has those problems.... Ugly? I guess you've never seen the Saturn cars have you?
These "little" cars are not designed to be first on race day. They are for economical transportation. Beat them around and they will probably let you down. Treat them like they are saving you money and they will perform. I love mine and everyone I have spoken with that owns one says the same thing. When the gas gets to 3.50 per gallon and everyone is unloading their tanks guess what a Geo will be worth? Better buy a new one now because you won't be able to get one at all soon. There will be such a demand for the gas mileage. Think gas won't get that high? It went from 1.18 2 weeks ago to 1.59 today. It went up 10 cents in one day. All those SUV's and Explorers, Blazers and Tundra's will soon be sitting in front yards with For Sale signs in the windows because no one will be able to put $105.00 worth of gas into the tank that holds 30 gallons and costs $3.50 per gallon. Think about that!!!

Faults:
Nothing that I haven't caused myself.
General Comments:
This car has been through hell and back and still cranks everytime I turn the key. I have driven this car through ditches and everything else through flooded roads and so on.
The car itself right now isn't even worth 100.00 dollars, the body is badly damaged from my many adventures off road but the engine is still in perfect shape. I imagine this car well taken care of would last years on end.

Summary:
Bad ass little car!
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong. I haven't had to replace anything in the car. AWESOME CAR!
General Comments:
I have done some custom work to the car to include adding turbo chargers, the engine holds up great to the additional strain of performance parts. I now drag race the car, and it turns an 11 second quarter. Not bad for a 1.3 liter engine.
The car is a great little car to customize, even though it is hard to find custom parts, but it is worth the time and effort.

You should add to the article where you got the turbo from because I am about to turbo my 95 geo metro.
