This is a blast to drive. It's only my extra car but I love the little thing. I've never had a car that was so much fun, the convertible is EASY to lower and to put back up. The car has plenty of pep considering the car is so light. The Geo sound system is pretty good also. Even though the car is several years old now it still gets plenty of attention on the road, another thing I love about it!.
"...Sports Car" Ha!!! Please, don't let me die of laughter!
I totally agree. I have a '91 with new top, new paint (metallic raspberry), new engine, and people never stop commenting on my "cute" car. The other day some guy came up and asked me if I would sell it to him! I live in Hawaii, which means everyday's convertible weather. Great beach car, and so economical. Mine's a stick, so it gets about 50 mpg. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

I just bought a '93 Metro convertible 2 months ago. I pray for sun everyday just so I can drive it. I absolutely love it. The top is so easy to get up and down. I get lots of positive comments. Of course, its great on gas. True, it doesn't have lots of power, but my whole objective is to enjoy driving it. I just entered it in a Memorial Day parade and many people clapped, hollered and waved at me - they love my car as much as I do. You don't see many of these little gems around. I wouldn't give it up now even if I could double my money.
