After buying my Mazda last fall, I thought I had gotten the Metro bug out of my system, but I often find myself searching Craigslist for a Metro. I'm trying to find the perfect Metro, and I keep running across 3rd gen Metro manual sedans.
I'm hoping to find an I4 Metro with a bad engine, which I will replace with an I3. I will keep the I4 transmission with the higher final drive. If we compare an I3 sedan to an I3 hatchback, is the sedan (lower Cd) more efficient despite the slightly higher weight?
