I recently bought a 1997 Geo Metro. I really just wanted this car due to the great gas mileage it gets. The 1997 Geo Metro gets around 40-45 miles per gallon.
This Geo Metro is not a powerhouse by any means. The 1.0 litre Suzuki motor is a 3 cylinder that puts out a whopping 55 hp. I look at this as a good thing though, I shouldn't receive any speeding tickets with this fine tuned machine.
To look at the engine compartment brings a smile to ones face. The engine is small and it looks like one person could lift it out of the car if they had to. I know the transaxle can easily be handled by one person. I helped a friend install a clutch one time in his Geo Metro.
Driving the car is fun also. The small hood that is has makes you feel like you really don't even have a front end. Luckily for me, this Geo Metro is a 5 speed manual transmission that allows it to pull out decent on a hill or intersection.
A Geo Metro is not known as roomy. Sitting up front is fine for anyone over 6 foot tall, but sitting in the back feels cramped. This is not the car for four people to take on a roadtrip or any long drive. It is fine for only two who are sitting up front.
The Geo Metro is great for handling and making any turn is a breeze due to the short wheel base.
For a great everyday runner that is good on gas and used for short trips, the Geo Metro is a great option for anyone looking for an economical solutions to commuting.

What will John McCain do now?
So the election is over and John McCain lost. What will he do now?
He could spend some time with his family in those seven houses he owns
Sleep.I am sure McCain didn't get too much sleep. This would be a good time to catch up.
Play checkers online with Palin.McCain will learn how to play. Not checkers but using the computer to play.
Write a Broadway Play. John McCain can write a play based on his run for President. Courtney Love will play Sarah Palin.
Fishing. Lots of great fishing with John McCain as the helm of the bass boat.
Start a talk show. Although, Sarah Palin may beat him to the talk show circuit, McCain could get his own show on the WB Network. The catch will be that all members of the audience and guests will be black.
Whatever your choices Sen. McCain we wish you the best in your future endeavors
