If I bought a Metro, I'd immediately replace the alternator belt and timing belt. And I'd give it a Jiffy Lube/Grease monkey service.
I'd carry an extra timing belt, an alternator belt, a very modest set of metric tools, a screwdriver set, a quart of oil, a little antifreeze, windshield fluid, and a tire plug kit. I have a small basket I keep these in behind the rear seat. Make sure the spare has air in it and you have a working jack. When I bought my metro, the spare was completely flat - but holds air now just fine.
