1995+ Metro sedan coefficient of drag: .32
Just posting this as an FYI...

akcapeco forwarded me this link - one of the few sources of apparently "official" looking coefficient of drag numbers for the vehicle: Chevrolet GEO Metro LSi (1995)

1995 CHEVROLET GEO METRO LSI SEDAN: .32

Somewhat close to the .34 listed here: The Mayfield Company Homepage - Geo Vehicle Drag Data - though this page doesn't specify sedan or hatchback.
