  2000 Chevy Metro - 2000 Chevrolet Metro
  By Joe in JT - September 10 - 3:28 pm

  I use my Metro for work throwing newspapers everyday. Its very dependable and gets 32 mpg. The drivers seat springs collapsed and I have to use 3 Sunday newspapers under there so I dont sit on the floor. Also the interior roof liner is sagging, and the cup holder is dangerous as I couldnt put the car into reverse in a quick manner because I had a coffee cup in the holder which blocks the shifter. After I bought the car I had several repairs like a loose spark plug and cv boot and axle. The PNP switch in the trans shifter shorted because previous owner didnt push in the shifter button when changing gears. No problems after that and it has become a reliable car now that I enjoy.

  Smart car 2010 = Geo 89 - 2000 Chevrolet Metro
  By fatcatmat - September 5 - 6:10 pm

  Great little cars. I have owned 5 (five). I drive them an average of 180- 200 miles a day (sw washington to Seattle). A bit noisy but for the 500+ miles I get on a 10 gal tank of gas Ill live with it. I have saved thousands on gas. Easily enough to buy my wife the new Escape hybrid.

  My Metro did its job, and very well! - 2001 Chevrolet Metro
  By dragonfly2005 - April 4 - 12:19 am

  I bought this metro used with about 40,000 miles after I graduated high school. It was fair priced for it being newer at the time with few miles. It ran great up until about 65,000 miles when a cam sensor went out which cost about $200 to get fixed. I performed routine oil changes and have had nothing else go wrong (except normal wear and tear on tires and breaks). I have hit about 82,000 miles and it feels like the CV joint is going out, but i havent brought her in yet so Im not for sure. Id say the car was a great buy for the price and actually exceeded my expectations. It was a little shy on the power, but once you got up to speed it stays there!

  Awesome little car - 1998 Chevrolet Metro
  By Mom - August 29 - 10:19 pm

  My brother drove this car to work every day in all kinds of weather until he retired this year. I luckily inherited it from him with 94,000 miles on it. It still gets great mpgs. Its a little cramped for me but I can deal with that. The only problem I have is with a fuel pressure sensor and I cant find parts at the junk yards!

  I love this car - 1998 Chevrolet Metro
  By sarah - August 5 - 11:00 am

  This car has been wonderful to me. I bought it used in 2003 with no clue how to drive a stick. Its very forgiving and easy to learn on. Havent had any problems other than the usual repairs required.

  01 Metro Review - 2001 Chevrolet Metro
  By RushFan2112 - July 20 - 7:38 pm

  All in all its a good car for the price. Its not very comfortable, its pretty loud, and struggles going uphill. It is surprisingly a pretty zippy car, as long as youre not going uphill. It gets good gas mileage on highways, but poor mileage in the city. It is what it is, affordable, economy car. Its very reliable, I have never had any problems with it that any other car wouldnt have.

  This is a great car - 1999 Chevrolet Metro
  By Brian - June 10 - 7:18 pm

  I love this little thing. Only had 25000 miles on it when I found it. Gets a staggering 53 miles to the gallon around town, and 47 at 65 on the freeway. No A/C crank windows and plunge locks. Great A to B.

  Whats not to like - 1998 Chevrolet Metro
  By boaw - May 17 - 9:42 pm

  Never breaks down. More comfortable on long trips than my Subaru Outback. Amazing MPG. Great snow car with proper tires. Fun to drive. You can speed without fear of getting a ticket as cops dont believe their radar. Cost $8,000 new

  Energizer Bunny! It just goes & goes - 1998 Chevrolet Metro
  By HappyMetroOwner - February 15 - 1:58 pm

  When I bought the car new, it was listed MSRP $9000, at 2% interest payments. I got $600 off the trade-in, $750 Special markdown on sticker, and $500 loyal Chevy buyer discount ($7150 total cost). Its been ultra reliable, only routine maintenance and 1 starter, less weight than a Volkswagon, gets 44.6 MPG when new, and not much different at 101,300 miles. Do not let the oil get low! It is a 3 cyl. 1.0 liter, best for 1 person city trips. Use 185/60QR-14 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 snow tires on this car in the snow or expect to not go because it is so lite in weight. I replaced the original 13" rims for 14", and had no issues. The metal sides dent easily in parking lots, no rust in 10years!

  Safe car to drive - 2001 Chevrolet Metro
  By petsr4ever05 - December 30 - 12:09 pm

  I live out in the country and have to drive 36 miles (one way) to work and back every day. Everyone kept telling me that if I ever hit a deer with my little car, I would not survive the collision. Well, about a month ago I was cruising along at about 60 miles an hour and a big buck jumped right out in front of me. I never had time to even put on the brakes. I hit it broadside going at least 60. The airbags deployed, and I was able to pull over to the side of the road. It killed the deer, and it killed my car (a complete and total loss), but I didnt have a scratch on me. Now I know that even the small cars do have enough protection for the driver to survive that kind of collision.
