    At $4,500, Is This 1995 Geo Metro a Mileage-Making Marvel?

    No longer for sale or perhaps OP took it down but it interesting to read Jalopnk’s takes on the Geo

    I read the article. Here's the Simpson's episode clip they mention...




    A Mirage must seem like a Lexus after driving one of those things.

    My Mirage replaced a '97 Metro. The difference was quite noticeable between the two, but to be fair the Metro had 261,000 miles and the Mirage had 14.

    The Metro definitely handled better.

    I had several Suzuki Swift hatchback (Metro's) with the three cylinder engine, and a few that were not hatchback with the 1.6L 16V engine. They were like motorbikes on four wheels! On the highway you had to change the lane first, then step on the gas, otherwise you could rear end the car in front of you...
    Handling was OK on both sorts.
