Interior room. I stripped out all but the drivers seat.
Least favorite feature:
Mushy suspension calibration.
Advice to buyer:
No one makes a 49mpg Chevy Metro anymore, so this is your last chance for a high value econobox before they force you into a hybrid vehicle.
Detailed review:
Great deal for the money. I purchased mine with a credit card for under $8900. Suspension is very smooth for the highway but way too mushy for my style of driving. I'm ordering a 2004 Kalos lowering spring kit to improve handling. Ordering Lumar tint for the glass. Brakes are GM mushy with low output so I'm replacing front pads with a more aggressive PFC compound. Easy to work under the spacious dash when doing upgrades of components. Easy to box in rear speakers for custom sound. Idiot Opel engine designers placed cat directly off exhaust manifold for super clean emissions. Need to cover cat with fiberglass sock to prevent excess underhood temp
