2000 Geo Metro Base review from North America

Nothing yet, except reverse gear shifts funny.

This is an excellent little car. It is very reliable, durable and cute. You don't see many of these around anymore, but believe me, it's a gem. Acceleration is not as bad as people say, I've actually squealed my front tires pulling out of a stoplight (which takes practice with a 3-cylinder engine--you have to have the right combination of gas pedal and clutch pedal). The interior is very spacious. Space was well-utilized to create a roomy atmosphere in this car. When inside it, it feels like a big car. Also this is the first sub-compact ever to meet North American crash test standards, so I feel pretty safe in it. It does very well on the highway, but is a little difficult to maneuver through city streets due to the lack of power steering. Strange, isn't maneuverability what the car was built for? Anyway, sub-compacts don't get much better than the Metro. With gas prices rising higher than ever, it's hard to find a good used one. But if you do, snatch it up immediately!
