    21st century Metro!

    Hi all,
    I just signed up. I've had my '14 ES (lime) for about a year now. I have been messing around with metros for the last 15 years, but they are becoming harder to find and I'm getting older. The mirage test drive was quite an improvement from my '00 Chevy Metro 3/5, in terms of comfort and amenitites. AFter driving it for a year I believe this is the new Metro! And these seemingly cheap "throwaway" may surprise everyone!

    Handling has been my biggest dissappointment, it tends to wander around on the highway and I have to constantly correct it. Have any of the aftermarket stabilizers helped with this?

    I've been getting metro like mpgz, 45-50 depending on how much I hypermile.

    Belated welcome to the forum, philavine!

    Lots of ex (and current) Metro owners around here:

    Thread: Geo Metro roll call: did you own a 3 cyl car before Mirage? (Suzuki, Smart, etc)


    I still have my low-miles '98 Firefly, plus another low-miles 'vert sitting patiently in the garage awaiting rust repair.
