Ahahaha, i'm a bit new to this as i'm 25 years old, I would love to know where to take a defensive driving class! I'm a very very cautious careful driver, but I can't say the same for idiots on the road... Metro was the safest car at the time? According to some safety website it was rated the one of the highest for deaths in car accidents, but i'd love to be proven wrong! |

Nah, dude. I am letting go of a Kia rio 2003 i've been driving for 5 years or so, I just wanted a quick comparison of a geo versus some other cars in the safety aspects. |

I drive a 93. My dad is one of those guys who always looks at the negative. When I showed him my car and told him it was the highest rated for FE he just said "and probably the least safe too" or some such. This is a guy who warns me to "be careful" e erytime I leave his sight. i'm 45 for chrissake. He's dying of Parkinsons from exposure to pesticides.seriously, every time you drive your metro you're gonna see someone riding a motorcycle and you're gonna feel so safe and secure and comfortable compare to that poor, unhelmeted, un air conditioned bastard, that it won't matter. |

If you were happy with a Kia Rio for 5 years you would probably be happy with a late model 98-00 Metro. I believe they are very comparable safety wise. Both are smaller than 90% out there so it really falls on the driver to practice safe driving. About a year and a half ago one of the members driving a swift had an F150 pull out in front of him. Hit it at about 50 mph. See the photos and read here: http://geometroforum.com/topic/5230463/6/ Edited by Old Man, Jul 7 2015, 01:19 AM.
