You might have noticed that I wanted to buy a Festiva. A GEO Metro was not even on my list - a three cylinder engine is something to be merely tolerated. But the price was right and it ran reasonably well, and a quick look under the hood showed that it was reasonably clean, but not so clean that somebody was trying to cover up something (cleaning up the damage), so a test drive later and a bit of an assist from Berserk in picking it up, and I have a Metro.
Now, looking under the hood, there's a four cylinder engine (like a Festiva), in fact a 1.3 liter engine (like a Festiva). The engine compartment is a knock off for a Festiva. The biggest difference that I see is that the Festiva was made by Mazda for Ford and the GEO Metro was made by Suzuki for Chevy.

So... mom wanted to know if being a knockoff for a Festiva was a GOOD thing or a BAD thing....
GOOD thing, definitely.
haha, I'm glad you're satisfied with your purchase!
And Samara is just thrilled to have the car. She's been cleaning and feeling her independence.
ooh I remember cleaning out the festiva when I first got it and feeling like it was so cool... ah those were the days! :)
