Used 1998 Chevrolet Metro Consumer Reviews
I am in love
I am so happy about the fact I found this car. I was shopping for a Civic when I came across this gem. Perfect little car in perfect shape. I have classmates coming up to me asking what is the new model on campus. Of course I just laugh and tell them this car is 9 years old. Did I mention it takes 9 dollars for a half tank of gas.
Like a Rock
This car is like the eveready rabbit. Excellent mileage (best on the planet) so you can laugh at the high gasoline prices. Never lets me down. No repairs, just regular maintenance. You feel like you're beating the system when you drive this car. All the convenience without the bills. Get one!
Energizer Bunny! It just goes & goes
When I bought the car new, it was listed MSRP $9000, at 2% interest payments. I got $600 off the trade-in, $750 Special markdown on sticker, and $500 loyal Chevy buyer discount ($7150 total cost). Its been ultra reliable, only routine maintenance and 1 starter, less weight than a Volkswagon, gets 44.6 MPG when new, and not much different at 101,300 miles. Do not let the oil get low! It is a 3 cyl. 1.0 liter, best for 1 person city trips. Use 185/60QR-14 Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 snow tires on this car in the snow or expect to not go because it is so lite in weight. I replaced the original 13" rims for 14", and had no issues. The metal sides dent easily in parking lots, no rust in 10years!
Just a fun little car!
I got this car when i turned 18 and im now 22 years old i had 90 thousand miles on it then and it now has 150 thousands miles on it i had to replace an alternater and a starter but nothing seroius very well build car no major problems and i dont regret it at all.this car had been threw hell and back but somehow its still runs as if it was brand new.what can i say? well its damn good car thats what i can say!
Love the Car
This is my second Metro, bought this 1998 Model with 28000 on it June 2002. Have had 0 problems and get close to 50 miles to the gal. If you want a nice little car that gets you there and back cheep this is the car.
