New for 1999: The 1999
Chevrolet Metro remains primarily unchanged from last year's model.
History: Known as the
Geo Metro since its introduction in 1989, the Metro was shifted to
the Chevrolet nameplate when the Geo brand was discontinued after
1997. The sub-compact Metro was redesigned in 1995 and joined by
a 4-door sedan that same year. Over one-third of Metro buyers are
making their first new-car purchase, and a majority of Metro buyers are
women. The Chevrolet Metro is among the highest-rated in the EPA's fuel
economy tests. The Chevrolet Metro is built in Canada by a joint
venture of General Motors and Suzuki, and is also sold as the Suzuki
Swift.
Trim Details: The 1999
Chevrolet Metro is available in three trims: Metro (base) and LSi
2-door coupe and LSi 4-door
sedan. Safety features include dual airbags, daytime running
lights, available anti-lock
brake system (ABS) and child safety locks (sedan only). The base
trim has a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder
engine, while LSi trims get a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder. Standard
features on Chevrolet's least
expensive model include a center console with dual cupholders,
Scotchgard protected seats,
a folding rear seat and all-season tires. The LSi trims upgrade
with intermittent wipers, a
trip odometer and body-side molding. Air conditioning, a rear
window defroster and a variety
of stereo systems are available options. |
