If you've been looking to add a fun, quirky, and rarely seen ride to your collection, there may be no better vehicle that fits that description than this 1991 Geo Metro Convertible. With its drop-top demeanor, engaging manual transmission, and only 69,486 (believed) actual miles on its odometer, this fuel-efficient econocar adds a little bit of driving excitement to any commute.
Inside, we find a grey cloth interior that, unlike leather, does not get hot and sticky in the sun. A pair of bucket seats features red pinstriping, while the two-spoke wheel uses no power assistance and delivers accurate, responsive road feel without interference. A four-pod analog gauge cluster is highlighted by an 8,000-rpm tachometer, an option rarely seen on most early 1990s econocars. An AM/FM/Cassette stereo provides the soundtrack, while the functioning air conditioning offers a legitimate comfort feature in an open-air vehicle.
Under the hood, we find a naturally-aspirated, Suzuki-built, 1.0-liter single-overhead-cam inline-three-cylinder engine. This frugal firepower delivers 55 horsepower and 58 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a tried-and-true five-speed manual transmission before heading out to the front transaxle. While that power may not seem impressive, keep in mind that this Metro checks in at a svelte curb weight of less than 1,800 pounds, so a little bit of power goes a long way. Fuel economy with a five-speed manual has been rated at an impressive 37/45 city/highway mpg.
