If you get a Metro, get the 95+ 2-door hatchback with the 3-cylinder 5-speed. This is the ideal combination. the 89-94 Metro's aren't as comfortable, spacious or safe. If you change the cam for an XFi cam or a 3Tech XFi regrind (actually better design than the XFi cam) and upgrade to a XFi or 95+ 4-cylinder 5-speed trans you'll really improve your mileage (I've heard 5+ MPG for each). Look at my fuel log and you'll see that I'm averaging almost 47 MPG and even delivering pizza (somewhat driving hard) I still get 44.8 MPG. They're also very easy/cheap to work on and the insurance would be less than your current Escort.
