As a West Virginian, you throw some 4 wheeler tires on one, and you’ve suddenly got a jeep destroying off-roader. I kid you not I’ve seen these damn things pass me on some roads I got a 4 wheel drive truck stuck on...

LS swap!!

I WANT IT

Any modern car can get 50mpg if you limit the throttle to 20%.

16:01 lmao they still have that reputation

For some reason i want one, since economy cars today drink more gas than this thing

Not everyone can afford a Mercedes. I was fortunate, at that time I could afford nicer cars. But I wouldn't shit on people who couldn't. As for convertibles being luxury vehicles, I wouldn't call the Miata or Mustang luxury cars.

What does it look with the front cover of the owners manual it looks like a twoyear old drew it

I like the fact that the venerable Mercedes wagon is still sold today, but I miss the traditional grille with the emblem on top. This “SL type” grille is a bit too much for an E-Class.

After Doug mentions the YUGO, I had to look it up since I've never heard of it.... and whad’ya know... Doug reviewed one more than 4 years ago... here's his link to the YUGO that Doug reviewed... grpost.info/will/tYRnh8mGb5p7jc4/b-nteo

I can’t believe you found 23 minutes worth of content to talk about for a Geo metro. That being said, my parents had a two door hatch back when I was a kid. 350K miles, no reverse gear after awhile, and every gauge stopped working before it finally gave up.

Who bought and preserved this car? I'm glad they did, but what the actual f.

He sounds like if Bill Gates would review cars

I've been following you a long time and am hesitating between this one and a model 3 standard + and while I'm more of a sedan lover, the mustang really interested me today. I'm thinking and debating about it, and your video clearly finished deciding me.

I guess daddy doug heard me when I said I'd be more excited if he reviewed a geo metro rather than a Lamborghini

The Good: It has an airbag The Bad: It's probably made by Takata....

Ames, Iowa home of the Iowa State Cyclones. Go State!

You're talking pathetic in 90s, search for Suzuki Mehran (Pakistan) and they have been selling exactly same car for more than 30 years upto 2019. It was the same car in 2019 as it was in 1980s. I really recommend you search for it.

My great aunt still drives her yellow one she bought brand new, to this very day

Jay Leno should get one

I drove a metro around my block when I was 12

Doug the type of guy to punch a kidnapper in the face while riding in the trunk of a Supra.

That trunk looks bigger than the one I had in my 95 LeBaron convertible.

What a salesman LOL. Owner who listed this on his website must be pissed lmao.

Ah, 1992 memories 🙂

The Kidney Bean, is all I think of since the El Camino movie lol.

I rented a metro in San Franciso YEARS ago. I drove it up into the mountains east of Eureka to a friends place. It was a riot trying to keep up with.. everything on Highway 1. I drove it through a (iconic) hole in a trunk of a Redwood tree. It could have made a U turn in there. Hilarious driving fun.

I watched the entire video inspite it not a Porsche or Bentley. Thanks to Doug DeMuro

the Last bid $4300, Unbelievable

This was my moms first car in the 90’s. My dad bought it for her as a birthday gift. Funny little car.

I remember working for a dealer in the mid 90's we had two on the lot one trashed one not I want to say they were one or two model years off but nothing matched I think the bolts holding the roof down were 25 bux each needless to say they both went to the auction

My dad has one in purple! Otherwise known as Magenta Metallic. It’s actually his 4th Metro. It’s not in as good of shape as this one, but perhaps I’ll restore it one day.

Probably one my Favorite Brand Geo Metro > Suzuki Mehran > Toyota Echo. > Toyota Yaris > Toyota Corolla > 97 Nissan Maxima > Mazda Rx 8 > BMW M3 E46 and E90 > Mustang Shelby,GT500 > BMW 7 Series >

Just realized how dumb of a name "airbag" is.

how long till Doug stops calling Cars and Bids his "new" site

This guy is sooo quiirrrkkkyyy...

why does that drivers headrest look like a scrotum

Replacing the Yugo is a dubious distinction at best.

the third storage area on the roof was for a box of tissues (klennex)...

The mirror adjuster position would suggest it was originally designed for right hand drive and they didn’t bother switching the thing over.

Hydraulic steering? Nope.

Great video Doug! Small mistake on auto trans - 36mpg is 6.5l/km. I had suzuki swift when i used to live back in Europe and its pretty reliable and gets you from A to B.

coming from doug that title is absolutely brutal

The Public: "You had one job, bring the Supra back." Toyota: "Can I interest you in a slower version of a Z4?"

Why do you have to giggle all the way through your videos.I used to have a lot of friends and co-workers driving Metro's just for them gas mileage

I can't believe how many cars are now gone

@ 10:00 -- That's hilarious! Of course, it shows that this Japanese Kei class car was originally rt. hand drive, since you don't need the mirror adjustment stick on the driver's side, but most definitely want it so you can reach across & fine tune the passenger side mirror. Too bad they lost track of that when converting it to left hand drive for the world market!

it’s pathetic and that’s why i love the Metro

I think accent on the second (a) is correct.

Not a car for a long trip, but it looks to be perfect for little downtown errands; or just knocking around!

Pathetic is right. I remember these.. nothing says hopeless peasant like a geo metro... and that’s when they were new.

tbh I wish they more cars like this today. I don't need anything fancy, just something to get from point A to point B. Cheap and reliable.

I love it sorry to say

Lol.. not a very good marketing video to bid oh this car…:)

When a fox body mustang is a NERD.

I went to high school from 92-96, there was a ridiculously hot girl that drove one of these to school at the time, so I'm fine with it.

back in the day i had the 5 door version of this called the pontiac firefly its an econobox to the extreem but its manual shifter never felt all that bad its a great first manual to learn with and it was my moms grocery getter never did much els lol it was a pretty reliable car but throw the timing off on thatt little engine it was done lol it vibrated like crazy the car flexed as it drove but it never failed to get you there so ya it might have been a cheap crappy car but it barly burned anything in gas, parts were stupid cheap, insurence was nothing since replacing it was just as cheap as fixing it in a wreck so ya lol cheap to run reliable appliance for grandmas trip to the doctor or gerocery store lol

How about a biased opinion did not even floor it to judge the acceleration, it’s obvious he likes wagons so almost no negative remarks on the vehicle .

My parents loved these things. My mom had one in this exact color right around the time I was old enough to borrow the car. A “feature” you might have missed; the a/c on/off button is in the perfect spot to turn off the compressor by simply extending your index finger when attempting to take off from a light. The horsepower boost was noticeable.

Ps5 Car

The Koenigsegg RS is my favourite one

OJOJOJ...

I can remember right before the financial crisis when gas got up to $4 a gallon Geo metro's shot up in value. Used ones that used to go for $2k just a few years earlier were going for $5-7k

I never understood that gag where Homer was the T-1000 going after Ned to be his friend. "He's gaining on us daddy!" "Come on, Ned. Move this thing!" "I can't, it's a GEOOOOO" until I drove a Geo. I must say, every ride was an adventure.

Bought a use metro In the Mid nineties to compliment my 944 Turbo S to drive in Winter and bad weather There something very liberating And a sense of Fearlessness And freedom Driving and parking And not giving a f.. My little metro had In the city That my Porsche You know because It's a Porsche didn't have. It's also best Heater I've ever had in the car.

Some of these features need to make a comeback

Wrong VW "Cabriolet" for late 80s/early 90s; the "Cabrio" displayed came out for the 1993 model year...

Really nice, I actually like this a lot. A convertible car that is cute and really likeable and a one that put's smile to people's faces. Instead of those todays in your face convertibles, that just scream that: "Look at my expensive and flashy big convertible, that has a ridiculously huge and loud engine".

Drop a 150hp Hayabusa engine into it. All Suzuki, so it would still be "factory correct!" 😉

Looks like the chevy SS

This car is absolutely pathetic...bid on it now

I now miss my '88 mustang convertible 4 banger with 88 horsepower that I drove in 2004 in high-school. The power roof broke 2 days after I got it. Fun memories

Can't post the photo here (and it's not very good) but I saw a Geo Metro _towing_ a small camper trailer down I-35 in Texas. That is a road where the average speed is between 80 and 90. Let's just say the Geo wasn't keeping up, but I admire the driver's nerve.

Whoever ends up owning this one better bring it on RCR

bro but with how gas prices are going these may be going up in value. Im glad I had held onto my ford festiva because commuting in my tundra costs a fortune.

Imagine having Doug review your car then he says it's pathetic... damn

What about the Geo storm...

Is it weird I want it

Mclaren’s peak was at the 675LT

Don’t forget the Geo Spectrum which was a crappy hatchback that my mom had!😄
