Well I joined the forum to bring me up to date on these Metros. I have a '93 xfi that I bought from my elderly neighbors about 2 years ago that honestly I knew nothing about. Since then I've had several people ask me if I wanted to sell it. Car looks new with 68,000 miles on it.

Welcome to the GMF. Here is a little history on what is the differences between your xfi and my Lsi and my 2 Base models.

The XFi model that you have is this one it was designed for maximum fuel efficiency. It had a lighter curb weight, different computer, camshaft and transmission than the base or LSi models. It also had less comfort and convenience options than the other models. It boasted 53 city/58 highway mpg numbers and received "Most Fuel Efficient car in America" for all six years of it's production. It was dropped after the '94 model year because of slow sales.

The Metro base model like my other 2 I own was more upscale than the XFi. It listed A/C, and Automatic transmission as options not available on the XFi. It also had standard features like body side molding and a passenger side mirror which were options on the XFi. The base model had a more powerful engine, six more horsepower to be exact, rated at 55 horsepower. This was accomplished with a slightly higher lift camshaft and a computer programmed for power as well as economy.

Metro LSi which was my first Metro to own and still currently driving.
This was Metro's sport model. It sported body colored bumpers, and composite headlamps, although the interior is where the LSi was really set apart. Much more plush than the other two models, It sported bucket seats with separate headrests and storage bins on driver and passenger doors which were also cloth and vinyl unlike on the other models. A split fold rear seat and rear cargo cover were standard as was the 6500-8000 rpm redline tachometer. The LSi was equipped with the same 55 horsepower engine as the base model. Later model LSi's (95 and after) were also available with a 70 horsepower 1.3 liter four cylinder engine. All convertibles were produced as LSi models and came with a standard drivers side air bag.
