I personally have 5 Geo Metros at this time. My other rig is a 4 wheel drive Suburban which has a 42 gallon gas tank. I find the Metros to be mechanically well built and with proper care to be well able to go several hundred thousand miles. A little "TLC" is usually all they need to remain dependable.

424000 miles has got to be some sort of record for a Geo Metro.
