Chevrolet Metro Engines and Transmissions

Every Chevrolet Metro engine here is a small gasoline unit driving the front wheels, so the powertrain stays light and thrifty. The sedan appears with a 1.3 in manual or automatic form, while the Mini 3-doors example pairs a 1.0 with a manual transmission for maximum economy.
