   True, for the most part.  The reason that I'm so addicted to early 90's   
   Geo Metros is because the 3 cylinder 5 speed variety hatchback get an   
   honest-to-God 50 MPG on the highway.  How many cars owners can say that   
   and not lie through their teeth?  Maybe Prius owners, but my Metro costs   
   less than it costs for a dealer to replace one of their headlights.   
      
   I've driven these Geos to Minnesota (annual car meet), Florida,   
   Tennessee, Virginia, etc.  Stupid reliable, and stupid good on fuel; not   
   to mention easy to work on.
