The reliability issue is among the reasons I have kept my civic so long (bought it used from the dealer on warranty in June 2001, yes two thousand and one). It has been my daily driver and cross country car ever since. nearly 240,000 on the odo now. I keep it because I know all of its problems. A "new" used car would be a mystery. From where I sit, it looks like this Civic has more repairs needed than your Metro, or at least that it has as many. The Metro's needs are a list you can just rattle off from memory. Seems you'd get to a reliable and fully functioning ride fast with work on the Metro. But you know the two cars better, so...

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
