The Chevrolet Metro is equipped with a 1.0L or 1.3L inline-four engine, both of which are classified as non-interference engines. This means that if the timing belt fails, the pistons will not collide with the valves, preventing significant engine damage. Regular maintenance, including timely timing belt replacement, is still essential to avoid potential issues.
YES
Interference engines are quite common in consumer automobiles, so even though the specific information is harder to find it is still most likely an interference engine.

This web site should be called "Questions.com" because there never seems to be any answers.
If its from 85 then its NOT a geo metro engine. It is probably a Chevrolet Sprint engine because they only started making Geos in 88. If you need an engine for your 95 Geo then you could use one of the following: 1991 - 1995 Geo Metro engine. 1991 - 1995 Suzuki Swift Engine, and 1991 - 1995 Pontiac FireFly engine. Hope this helps :)
Yes valves will bend if timing belt goes out while driven.

ACCORDING TO THE CHILTON MANUAL YES. EDIT: According to the manuals and parts description, they say these are interference engines. The SOHC versions are not interference while the rarer DOHC versions are interference engines. Since they are not aware of what engine you are working on, they would rather be safe and tell you it is an interference engine. I would have destroyed at least two of these engines if they were interference. I have changed timing belts and been off a few teeth at first.
One car was the 1999 Chevrolet Metro , you could get a 1.0 liter / 61 cubic inch , 3 cylinder engine
If it's like the 1997, you just have to discontinue the negative cable from the battery.
