Dan, Sir I salute you 🫡 I had a Metro only because I live in England it was an Austin Metro 1.0ltr 4 cylinder packing 43 Rampantly lethargic brake horsepower. And I too was determined to make it faster than a 4 speed manual has ever been. Turned out Marvin ( he was called Marvin the Metro) packed more dB than BHP what with 8 speakers and Sub canon I installed!

I inherited a white '95 Metro base model hatch from my parents when I got my driver's license. Mine came with nothing: no A/C, no passenger side mirror, no radio, but I loved it. My original radio was a boombox, before I put a full stereo (and subwoofers in it) - which turned it into a riding night club. Also added remote door locks - the advantage to nothing in the door, was aftermarket part installation was super easy - and a push-button hatch release on the dash. Other than A/C, by the time I was done with it there wasn't really anything I thought it lacked. It was super cheap and easy to maintain compared to modern cars. Back in the late '90s when gas was less than a dollar, I could fill it up for like $5, which was a great money making scheme when everyone you know is willing to give you a couple bucks for a ride and only needed to get gas every couple of weeks. I can honestly say I once put 505 miles on a tank, and it then cost me like $15 to fill up, which is non-hybrid impossible nowadays. I also had a good time driving it. It was a lot of fun in the snow since it weighed almost nothing, it was basically impossible to get stuck and easy to just drift around corners. While it may not have been very fast to 60, I always found it was pretty quick to 25-30 if you knew how to shift it, but the NJSP officer that ticketed me for doing more than 80 on the turnpike can vouch for its top speed. My parents swapped me cars and sold it almost 20 years ago, and I still miss The Egg a little bit to this day.

If you need to get from A to B, without rushing or banging a hole on your wallet on fuel, this is your perfect choice.

Doug: "Ridiculous little car" The rest of the world: looking at their little cars nad sweating

[@JMDrives]

Seems like Doug was born very privileged and ignorant. He knows jackshit about the most simple yet basic features cheap cars had, then makes fun of them looking like a embarrassing fool. Things aren't even funny cuz it's so common it's just normal.

[@handymenprotv5510]

@@JMDrives calm down dude, in America this is a very basic car and a very tiny car. Here it’s normal to laugh at cars like this. We call them clown cars lol. Very few people drive this kind of thing here. And I’m sure he knows more about cars than you, hell he has millions of subscribers 😂

[@whenwhen2284]

@@JMDrives Is there something wrong with making fun of basic cars? They can still be made fun of without being a bad car. Plus, wanna know a basic car? The Corolla. The car you can throw into the sun and mash into a pile of plastic and metal and the engine will somehow still start

I'm guessing this quote was from The Simpsons (Ned ) but there was a Married with Children episode that punked the Geo Metro.

[@conanseibel4464]

I had one in 92. When you turned on the A/C, you had to get out and push.🤣👏🏼👏🏼

[@Zarkonem]

First car i ever drove in high school was a '92 Geo Storm hatchback that my mom got when i was in 3rd grade. Watched this video to see how similar it was to the old Geo i remember. Say what you will about quality, but that thing still ran great with nearly 250,000 miles on it and we sold it to someone when i was 19 and had saved up to buy my own car.

[@blahblahblah1787]

20 years ago I had a history teacher that was like 7ft tall and had the non-convertible version of this. I will never forget the time I saw him leave school one day in his little car with his knees next to his shoulders.

[@richie9878]

Lol my sister had a green hatchback one. Looked like an egg.

[@jasonkay869]

My friend had a new one back in the day, same colour. It was considered 'cute' back then as well and attracted a fair amount of attention as well. We had a blast driving it around the city where you couldn't go fast because of the traffic, as well as topping it out on the freeway at just 90ish MPH.

[@jimmynuetronrblx8628]

What I find ironic is that if they made a convertible 91 civic, people would go crazy for it, but when GM does it, it’s terrible I mean these things got really good gas mileage, that has to be worth something

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

Yeah, the Metro seems to have recieved an unfortunate reputation, despite being a really good car. Everyone who's owned one has many positive things to say, yet everyone who hasn't owned one hates on them.
