Used 2000 Chevrolet Metro Consumer Reviews
You get what you pay for
I've owned a 2000 4-dr Metro for over 2 years and have driven it to/from work plus two Texas-MN cross cross-country trips, one of them the winter with blizzards and all. I am VERY pleased with my Metro. It's not a Lexus, but it cost a bunch less than one too. It's also no Yugo. It gets me from A-B comfortably, is very dependable, good on gas, etc. Every once in a while I wish I had this or that car instead, but then I think of all the cold, hard $$$ I am saving.
Best 500 dollars I have ever spent.
This is a great little commuter car, easily I get 43mpg on the highway (unless it's really windy). Mine has the 3 cylinder 5 speed that puts out I think a little over 50 horsepower but it's okay for the size and weight of the car. I've owned this car for over 6 years and I still get offers around 900 dollars or more (resale value is great). Very cheap and easy to maintain, I spend less than 30 dollars on an oil change. Seats have really held up, only driver side has slight tears, nothing major. Road noise isn't the worst but it also isn't very well insulated. Safety features such as ABS or traction control are non existent but I have dual airbags. 270k miles and still going strong, burns little to no oil at all.

My Metro
It performs well for what I bought it for; which is good fuel economy, cheap insurance and maintenance.
A/C Problems
Love the gas mileage (40mpg) but have had in the shop (4) times for A/C work in (2) yrs. Otherwise great work car.
Basic Transport
For what this car is about, getting from point A to point B it does it, and with little gas. At 6'2" it is not the car for me but for my wife it works fine. Credit card dollars helped reduce the cost of this car to < $6000 new. So, that helped.
