I have had three different Chevy Sprints (predecessor to the Metro)and they were great little cars. In fact, for what they were, I think they were one of teh best cars ever built, especially teh Sprints. They started cutting a few corners once they made the Geo line....Still, solid, dependable, effecient, go any where (great in snow and on mountain forest roads)....Neat little cars. I ownder why they stopped making them? Seems like they would sell like crazy now. Probably too much smog....
