The Geo Metro, one of the few American cars that really fits the description of compact. It comes in many different forms, but all of them have the general proportions that inspire people to either laugh, or say "Aw!"
The engine in this little car also may bring on a few chuckles. A 1.0 liter, three-cylinder engine is standard in a Metro. Some, however, come with larger engines, all of 1.3 liters, and sporting four cylinders. That's 70 horsepower, up from the 55 under the hood of a three-cylinder.

The odd thing about this little car is that, while most people are busy being surprised that it can even keep up with freeway traffic, owners of Geo Metros tend to like their little cars quite a bit. Of course, while you might be laughing now, metro owners will be the ones chuckling at the gas pump, as even conservative estimates put city gas mileage in the mid-30s, and freeway mileage well over 40. And the best thing about these tiny little cars .... (They're a whole lot of fun!-)
