What are the differences between a Geo Metro and a geo prizm?

Answer 1

The difference between a Metro and a Prizm are pretty big.

The Metro is made for fuel MPG and therefore it is stripped down, basic items, fairly rattly ride. It is for getting the big miles in MPG (43/51). It is for basic transport. Small 3 cylinder 1.0 litre Suzuki engine not made for consistent highway abuse.

The Prizm is a little more upscale than the Metro. It features luxuries such as A/C, Automatic Transmission, Power Windows, 4 cylinder Toyota powerful engine and it is bigger inside and out. It is not recommended if you want big MPG, but if you like basic comforts.

The Geo family really shared no mechanical parts in fact all that most of them had in common was the Geo emblem and decals placed on the cars,

The Metro was based on a suzuki design and came in three trim levels XFi, Base, and LSi a three cylinder engine and four cylinder engine were offered, The Metro LSi could be out fitted with many options including automatic, a/c, Power Steering, and contrary to what the answer above states the Metro was very well equipped for an economy car and it had no problem on the highway.

The Geo Prizm was based on the Toyota Corolla and was much more luxurious compared to the Metro it offered three trim levels as well base, LSi, and GSi. The Prizm also offered excellent gas mileage 31 / 35 mpg both the Metro and Prizm were excellent cars as were the entire Geo brand
