I had one of the little Geo Metro sedans back in the early 2000s. I really liked that car. Sold it to my brother, who had it for a couple months before getting t-boned in it by a drunk woman driving a Hyundai Accent. The Mirage sedan looks to be everything that car was. Had the G4 been available in late 2014, I almost certainly would have picked it over the hatch.
The manual transmission stopped being an option on the G4s for 2020. The only reason I am interested in this car is the fact it's a manual, which is also probably the reason it is so cheap.
