A miata would be a dream; very pricey and not very efficient, though. In terms of fun, my civic is an si with VTEC so it can fly if I want. Problem is that I don’t care too much about that. I want something that hasn’t been rusted/clapped out, is no frills, and gets great mileage. The early 90’s metros seem perfect for this but I’ve yet to find a nice one. This one *seems* rust free, which is nice. Considering that my floor is falling apart on the driver’s side, rust free sounds wonderful.

MetroMPG drives a later Metro, and he seems to get great figures. Maybe I’ll message him.

Edit: I’d like to clarify that I’m indeed planning on a hyper-miler project car. My civic is a fun, zippy car and I feel like I’m castrating it when I modify things. Starting with a 3 cylinder metro makes more sense to me.
