Geo Metro - The new Chic Car! - same mpg as Prius

this was my first car. when i had gotten it in high school, $5 to $10 got me anywhere I wanted for a week.

I find it ironic that this thing is in demand now. I donated the car when I was done with it, but originally was going to sell it to someone for $200. A day or two before the sale, someone shot a bb gun at the car and shattered the rear window. The window cost about $250 to replace and repair, meaning that if I wanted to still sell the car, I'd essentially have to pay the guy $50.

It costs $20000 more than a Geo Metro though. :)

Yes but there's something to be said for
1) reliability of a new car
2) a warranty
3) cargo capacity
4) comfort
5) safety (extremely important)
6) more power and performance
7) lower emissions
8) prestige
who would be caught dead in a metro? seriously.
 
But who wants to drive a GEO metro, those things are shitboxes. I would never want to get into a wreck driving that piece. I usually see fat guys driving that small car which is funny to see.

Ha! 20 grand and a new set of batteries every 5 years (couple grand here and there who cares you get 20 more miles to the gallon). Unless you are a green snob with no financial sense (I know several) you could get any number of cars that get great gas millage for a fraction of the cost. Believe it or not there is such a thing as monetary waste pollution (paying an inordinate amount more than you have to for the same bottom line effect). The argument for a Pruis over any number of other economical cars is like someone telling you that it is a good financial decision to buy a new car every 2 years and trade it back in.

Just remember whatever crap box your in if its a metro or a plastic pruis, when an 18 wheeler or bridge gets in your way at 55 -65 your dead. :D
 
Can someone explain to me what all the hype is behind a vehicle being "hybrid". 40-50mpg doesn't seem like that big of a deal when any little shitbox 4-cylinder will get you 30-35.
