Air conditioner compressor failed after 150,000.
Automatic Door Locks failed at 75,000.
Broken bottom side plastic cover around passenger front seat.
This car has been an EXCELLENT vehicle. I get 41-43MPG when not running the a/c in highway driving. I will get about 38-39 with a/c in mostly highway driving. The manual transmission provides enough power and response, but the automatics should be avoided. The automatics are horribly underpowed on the 3 cylinder 2 door model and the 4 cylinder 4 door model. My car is a four door.
If this is a 1997 metro it's a geo not a chevrolet it didn't become a chevy until 1998!!
Chevy was making Metros in 1985, they where called Sprints till 1988, the Sprint Metro; same 993 cc 3 cylinder. 1997 is when Chevy screwed up the formula and made big 4 cylinder automatics.
