In 2002 the original engine blew out. In 2003 the air conditioner went out. In 2004 the water pump and timing belt were replaced. In 2005 the transmission went out. The lining around the windows were worn when I bought the car. Both side mirrors fell off.
This was a great car while it lasted.
When the transmission went out I finally retired the car and sold it for parts.
I own a 1996 Metro, 3 cylinder, that has gone 148,000 miles. I put the last 65,000 on it since purchasing the car four years ago and have had very few problems. A water pump and a clutch within the past 2,000 miles, but nothing other than normal wear items prior to that time. It has been one of the best cars I have owned. Not as durable as my 1981 Volvo 240 with over 300,000 miles with no major repairs, but still pretty good.
