Faults:
When I first bought the car:
1 - The back seats rattled a lot when the car was moving.
2 - The fuel gauge did not operate.
3 - The glove compartment would open up during the trip if it wasn't slammed shut.
I got number 1 and 2 fixed right after I bought it.
I've lived with number 3 since I never go into the glove compartment and can just slam the thing shut if I have to.
General Comments:
I like my Metro. It takes me to where I want to go and doesn't take up much space. I rarely have passengers or much cargo, so there is plenty of space.
This is a good car for a patient, driver who doesn't mind hearing others sound their horns. If you plan ahead and give yourself an extra ten minutes, you'll never feel rushed.

I have the same car, with over 80,000 miles. I have had absolutly NO problems with it. However, recently, the lights won't turn on, and require me to turn the switch on and off repetitively. Also, the parking brake sometimes slips out of gear if done too quickly.
