The Geo would probably be more fun through the twisties than a large Caravan; my Insight is probably pretty comparable to your Metro int terms of handling, and although it's no Civic or Miata, it is definitely more fun through the curves than a Prius or minivan on the same road.
Have you taken any longer drives in the Metro yet?

A two and a half hour drive up to our church camp. Anywhere further than that I go with my family so we take the van instead. My Geo exists solely for the sake of my commute, the 1 or 2 trips a year I take elsewhere having it is just a bonus. I always used to just drive my pickup on those trips because I couldn't justify the extra $500 a year in costs to have a car to save me $40 in gas.
