Safety? Comfort? Manufacturer support? Features? Technology?
Don't get me wrong, there are some cars I'd really like to try converting one day... but as a car to drive every single day, I'd expect that most purpose-built EVs sold today would be significantly better than a conversion of a 1980s or 1990s car in most areas.
You've piqued my curiosity though - in what ways would you suggest a converted Metro would be better than something like an i-MiEV? Off the top of my head, performance and weight probably tip in the Metro's favour (and the former only if you specify a suitable motor), and range might be if you cram the Metro's chassis with enough batteries, but I'm genuinely intrigued by how it might be better otherwise.
