I've been driving it to work for the last 2 weeks( almost ready to sell my 2004 maxima). My co-workers will say, oh did you drive the little geo into work today? lol. the MPG is usually where people stop smiling, and say ohhhh. I've been averaging 55 in my xfi.

Hmm..am i the only person who does not get this bashing? what is everyone elses experiances?
almost any statement made about the Metro can be taken two ways. If you are a positive type person it will be taken in a good way. If you are a negative type person it will probably be taken as "Geo Bashing"---

Its great that a large majority of members on this website are positive type people.

the only weird thing I notice is, EVERYONE has to pass me...no matter what speed I"m traveling down the road...they feel compelled to pass the Metro...
Ya, what is it with that?

I had to pass a big truck the other day to make it to the freeway ramp I needed to take without slowing down traffic.
Okay, fine... downshift, accelerate, merge in, all with an appropriate blinker and merge distance, etc...
Get onto freeway, big truck guy goes ROARING past me on the left.
:lol
Okey dokey, dude, that's what the passing lane is for!

Tell me about it. :shake
I think in Alabama, it is in the DMV manual that you will be shot if you are passed by a Metro. I can't find it listed, but I swear I'm the only one that has not read that section. It appears to be life or death! :lol
I have seen people that look like they are :pee on themselves just to get in front of me.....and then SLOW DOWN! :banghead

Same thing here. Going 80 passing cars and they give you the funnest look then speed up to pass you.

I do have some co-workers that seem to think I should buy a BRAND NEW car that only gets 40MPG, instead of still driving my rattle-trap metro around. But I Just Brush Them Off As Silverado Owners And Move On With Life. I simply cannot figure out why trading my 48MPG metro for a car that has payment is a smart decision. I'm also a little shocked at how in love with their car payments most of those same co-workers are.

Liz and I were doing 93 on the way to GeoPalooza south and a guy passed me. No reason whatsoever. I'm pretty you're you're right about that section in the manual...lol

Not gonna lie, that RHD Metro is my new dream car :p
I could never get used to hanging my right arm out the window and driving with my left! :nfs
.
It is a fun little car. Not much to look at beyond 50 feet, but unique and fun. I like being different.

.
I'm sure you get all the babes? hahaha justkidding.
But seriously you own my dream car!
if you EVER want to get rid of that car I will be a first day buyer! I don't care how far I have to drive for it!

I mostly get questions like hows my mpg, how big is the engine, is it a 5 speed, will I sell it (NO). Got made fun of once and looked at the kid like "Nice civic painted 3 different colors with a gay spoiler and fart can, have fun picking up nothing in that". People rev their engines at me quite a bit (usually civics or stupid kids) so I show them the bird that I keep with me at all times :D
Also had people car my car cute and awesome, so it goes both ways. Just try not to take it in some places in California (lower LA), it does exist there.
