I had the same decision to make... Civic vs. Metro. The funny thing is that I went for the Metro for a lot of the same reasons (not safety of course). I know the new EPAs are poor for the Metro, but they are a load of crap too. I have tried to get my Metro down to the new EPAs and could not do it, sorry for the mpg sin, but I had to try. I went with Metro due to the simple construction methods, and how simple they are to work on. I am reminded of the TV commercial that says "after 36,000 mi you are the warranty". I had no problems at all doing a complete engine rebuilt with no advanced tools, and I am not a mechanic.
