Powertrain Options and Availability

Metros now came with either a 3-cylinder or 4-cylinder engine, depending on model. The 1.0-liter 3-cylinder went into 2-door models. Sedans got a standard 1.3-liter 4-cylinder, which was optional in the LSi hatchback (and later, in the LSi sedan). Either a 5-speed manual transmission or 3-speed automatic might be installed (the latter with 4-cylinder models only). For 1997, the 4-cylinder engine was standard in the LSi hatchback and 4-door.

Front Impact, Passenger	4	4

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
