Faults:

Air Conditioner leak since car was new covered recharge of system each season. Out of warranty I was paying for recharge when dealer could not find leak. Got tired of $150 leak test and recharge so took it to car air expert who has now put in the 3rd new original part compressor that has each blown the main seal. He is frustrated, I'm constantly without air - in Florida not good. He is thinking a rebuilt compressor next. If can't get it fixed, I will have to buy another car.

Other than the air, the car has had a tie rod go out, master cylinder replaced, leaking seal on drivers door hard to fix (door not fit tight), heat fan switch on dash replaced three time. Cheap car overall to operate.

General Comments:

Cheap price, great gas mileage, great commuter car. Horrible on freeway and trip more than 1 hour - noisy, rough ride, no pick up -what do you want for a 3cyl 5speed that cost under $10,000 new. Fit my tight budget. Don't get in an accident - car easily totaled and I was seriously injured - little protection in this small car.

Faults:

EGR valve at 80000.

Dome light quit working back in 2001.

Speakers are now beginning to crackle.

General Comments:

This car is slow, noisy and has a rough ride. It is a good city car, but a lousy freeway cruiser.

The seats are hard and not very comfortable.

Gas mileage is incredible, never less than 40 mpg and usually closer to 46.

This car has its faults, but when you consider it was less than seven grand brand new, it was a great buy.

This is a surprisingly tough little car, basic transportation at its best. Too bad they quit making them.

Faults:

Fuel Gauge.

General Comments:

I wish they still built these. I will want a new one in about 5 or 10 years. Had I known they were going to stop production I would have purchased 2 new cars. 1 for driving and 1 for storage so I could use it when the first one finally dies.

Faults:

Air conditioner compressor failed after 150,000.

Automatic Door Locks failed at 75,000.

Broken bottom side plastic cover around passenger front seat.

General Comments:

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.

Faults:

Cheap on gas and oil. Very, very expensive on air conditioning repairs. Had freon problems from the very first. Chevy should have recalled this car. Two compressors did not solve the problem. If air conditioning is a must, do not buy a Metro.

Faults:

Needed full brake job at 80000 miles.

Needed new tires when purchased (3rd set)

General Comments:

I'm a high school student and this is my first car. It was very cheap and I think its cute.

It drives well, but could be faster. It is not as slow as you would think though. It is faster than my friend's dodge neon and a lot cheaper.

Interior is kinda cheap and plain. Kinda a small interior for me...I'm a big girl so this may not apply to you.

Has had brake problems... needed new disks and shoes. Tires for it are cheap as dirt. AC could be better.
