Those metro engines NEVER die. I think its becuase they are soo simple, theres nothing to break lol. We joke and say they dont have enough compression to blow any gaskets :P
Rust damages to the panels seems to be more of an issue on most...
Metro/Swifts are great little cars. If you live in a place without salt on the roads, and maintain your car, they last a very long time. They've got to be the cheapest car there is to own.
