Reply #52: I disagree. It could hit 65MPG with a tailwind.

I had an ex with a Metro XFi that never gave her any problems. It was a flimsy little thing with lots of plastic, but she liked it and it was reliable. I think her only complaint about it was its lack of A/C (most Metros had A/C, but not the XFi).

The only real problems occurred when owners failed to have their EGR valves cleaned. They'd plug up, start blowing oil out, and waste the rings. A quick shot of carb cleaner into the valve at every oil change kept that from happening. It was a small price to pay for owning the most fuel efficient mass produced car in American history.
