Metros carried a 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder engine that developed a modest 55 horsepower. Base models first came only with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A 3-speed automatic was available on the upscale LSi. For 1990, the economy-leading model got an XFi designation. The XFi was the only model not available as a 4-door, and could not be equipped with an automatic transmission. Its engine developed less power. Also, A 2-seat convertible with a driver-side airbag and manual folding top appeared.

Great little car!

Pros: great gas mileage, compact size
Cons: forgettable on the road
I've always had small compact cars, so my Metro fits right in.
I acquired a 1994 Geo Metro 1 year ago for free. It needed a new alternator, so my Dad put in a used one.
At the time, I lived about 4 hours away from my parents, so I was driving home about once every other month or so. I needed something reliable that would get me from place to place using little gas, so this was perfect for me.
The used alternator was no good, so I learned my lesson and put in a new one instead. It has been fine since.
If I had anything negative about my car it would be that when the air conditioning is running the car power goes down. But that's pretty petty, considering that it's a small car to begin with. Also, sometimes other drivers (particularly the ones in the giant SUVs) tend to forget you're there since the car is so small.
I get about 40-45 mpg, driving 45 minutes one way to work and back every day.
I love my Metro!
