Well out here the nearest actual gas station is 20 miles and can be accessed by buzzing down the right away for half mile to a logging road for rest of way and lastly a 100 ft stretch of right of way dirt. Eight miles I wouldn't even get halfway to grocery store hehe. Guess I'm a outlaw through and through and it's easier to disappear on mini bike at same time insurance doesn't bother me it's mpg plus hassle to keep extra vehicle up versus chancing getting in trouble if that's possible out here for using a mini bike without offroad plates.
Buy the Metro, but make SURE you check for frame and body rust before you buy it, because those things are built by Suzuki with cheap steel. If they weren't rust-proofed factory or dealer before hitting the road, once they start rusting, they go QUICK!
I owned a '98 LSI model that looked nice, but if you got under it you could see it was rotten, and ready to go at any time. I sold it quick, as the guy who bought it wanted the 4 cylinder engine that the LSI model came with.

I know Geo Metro like back of my hand such as the frame horns that rust worse I even got a engine I bored 20 over with a reworked head port polished and bumpy cam. I rather the 3 cylinder as it's what I got paired to a 5 speed and told the guy best offer is $500. Bought it for that price just got home around 1 am after few glitches with wrong hitch to get it, it was too high up. This is my second Metro!
I have modded mine from the cylinder head to the body of the car. Some of us can get 50 to 60 mpg. There is different transmission ratios, mirror delete, cam modifications, timing retimed, air dams in from, lowered couple inches, chunk back seat out with all plastic on interior, scrape all sound deadening material out from underneath the carpet and list goes on.
