Specifications


The engine specs on this page are for the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder engine. All of the chassis specs pertain to the first generation Metros only ('89-'94). Unfortunately I do not have any specs for the second generation, or the 1.3 liter engine. If you do, feel free to e-mail them to me and I will definately add them to the site.
