I bought this metro used with about 40,000 miles after I graduated high school. It was fair priced for it being newer at the time with few miles. It ran great up until about 65,000 miles when a cam sensor went out which cost about $200 to get fixed. I performed routine oil changes and have had nothing else go wrong (except normal wear and tear on tires and breaks). I have hit about 82,000 miles and it feels like the CV joint is going out, but I haven't brought her in yet so I'm not for sure. I'd say the car was a great buy for the price and actually exceeded my expectations. It was a little shy on the power, but once you got up to speed it stays there! Suzuki did a good job with the engine. Honestly the car is what it is, a small economy car. The only complaint I have with it is that it is noisy on the interior. Engine noise, especially at higher speeds, basically over 65 mph. It gets good gas mileage on highways, but poor mileage in the city. It is what it is, affordable, economy car. It's very reliable, I have never had any problems with it that any other car wouldn't have.

This is a great car for a first time car buyer. I love it and everything it has brought me. Can't remember a time where it ever let me down

The Chevy Metro 2000 is a cute and reliable car. Although no longer being made, it would be a great car for students and seniors alike. Because it has four doors, you can easily put groceries or boxes in the back seat. The rear seats also fold down to allow more room through the trunk for larger items like exercise equipment. The vehicle gets great gas mileage (it's a 4 cylinder) and can go on "empty" for quite a while, although I don't recommend doing that. The seats are bucket style and comfy material. During the summer, you don't have the issue of sticking to the seats as you do with other materials. The back seat is a bit small for three adults to fit into, unless on the slim side. The air conditioning, while still blowing, has been losing Freon, likely due to a leak which may or may not be caused at the manufacturing stage. The trunk is a nice wide space that easily accommodates boxes, equipment and more while the spare tire sits in a well underneath it all. One of the downfalls is the width of the connecting plastic between the front windshield and the side windows. That piece is so large that if you are coming to a stop sign, for example, and the other car to your right is traveling the same speed as you, you may not even see them until you have completely stopped. This is in essence a "blind spot"- so be careful. The car handles well, and has power brakes and steering. Since it's only 4 cylinders, you will understand when it takes some time to get up to speed. Pushing to go faster only uses more fuel. With an airbag on both sides of the front seat, I felt safe driving it in all conditions.
