>>I talked to a friend last night that has a Geo Metro & she says she gets 42mpg and paid only $900 for the car. She also pointed out that highway driving was "not at all enjoyable" and the car's top speed is around 70mph. She's also a short girl - just over 5 foot. I suspect someone 6'6' would have a difficult time folding themselves up to get in & out of a Metro...hahahaha

>I actually drove a Geo Prizm (prison) once as a rental.

Actually I drove 2 of them. the first one siezed up w/in a mile of the rental agancy in Boston. Turns out it didn't have an oil drain plug and apparently was not happy about it. The second one they gave me did in fact run for the duration of the rental.
