How to reduce the aerodynamic efficiency of a Metro

4-cylinder, 3 speed auto, oversized wheels/tires, and now worse aerodynamics.

Would I still drive it? Yes, I would.

Three speed autos are soul-crushing, I wouldn't drive it. In fact, I think three speed autos were a conspiracy by big pharma to sell more antidepressants.

I used to have a two-speed auto in a '56 Chevy.

My first car.

Those ole Powerglides do very well in drag racers.

Didn't depress me :-)

I never got to drive any car with a 2-speed automatic, and my only experience with a 3-speed was in a Pontiac Trans Sport with the 3.1L TBI engine. Not sure how I would be satisfied or not with the Metro, even though I have already seen some of the Suzuki Swift with the 1.0L engine and the 3-speed automatic.
