Who it suits. Drivers who need two seats and a convertible body Drivers comfortable with a five-speed manual Mixed driving where 37 MPG combined matters
Choose this Metro when a two-person car, open body, and stick shift are central to your decision. Its 37 MPG combined rating gives a clear running-cost reference, and the 41 MPG highway figure favors longer steady trips. Front-wheel drive is part of the package, as is the 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine. The main compromise is practical: there are only two seats, and the EPA still estimates $1,800 in yearly fuel cost.
What it is
This 1993 Geo Metro LSI Convertible is a two-seat car with a gasoline engine, front-wheel drive, and a five-speed manual transmission. Its engine is a 1.0-liter three-cylinder. Its family designation is Metro.
The numbers
The figure to watch is 37 MPG combined. The EPA ratings are 35 MPG in city driving and 41 MPG on the highway, so steady highway trips rate 6 MPG higher than city use.
The car's EPA tailpipe figure is 240.19 grams of CO2 per mile.
What it costs to run

How it compares
Its 41 MPG highway rating is its stronger official figure, while the 35 MPG city rating is lower. The 37 MPG combined number gives the clearest single measure for mixed driving.
The 37 MPG combined rating and $1,800 annual fuel cost summarize its EPA estimates.
Who it suits
This car fits a driver who needs a two-seat convertible and prefers a manual transmission with front-wheel drive.
Its EPA numbers make it more suited to fuel-conscious mixed driving than to buyers focused on carrying more than two people.
Trade-offs
The five-speed manual and 1.0-liter three-cylinder define the powertrain choice. The two-seat body limits passenger capacity, while the convertible body supplies the open-air format.
Fuel use is rated at 35 MPG city, 41 MPG highway, and 37 MPG combined. EPA annual fuel cost is $1,800, with 240.19 grams of CO2 per mile at the tailpipe.
