    Dumb question, can you fit a bike in the back of a festiva? Is there a reese hitch for festivas?
    Bike......yes. I've fit a small motorcycle, a gokart, a three wheeler..... in mine . Not all at once tho

    And someone makes a hitch, but there's also alot of homemade ones.

      I just searched and found a thread on it. PU241, I might be hitting you up for some help when you get back in to town. I saw the hitch you made, looks good!

        I just came across a 91 geo metro 5 spd, 55k mi, 1700. Im torn between that and the festiva. If the festiva is solid Im going to get it, but the metro is a back up.

            I know, the low mileage is hard to turn down though lol.

                  Metros get great gas mileage but they are gutless. If you get it be sure to leave an hour early when going somewhere

                  Get the Festiva. The parts are cheaper and it can get out of it's own way

                    ...and Geo's have front end problems with rust, the parts that hold the suspension on. I know a guy that had half the suspension fall off while he was driving it. They're tin cans!

                      I really like the metro's too but I feel Festiva's are just more personable there is so much you can do. I'm sure Metro's are like that too but there's nothing like driving a festiva.
                      Either way you will be getting a good car.
                      My advice go with your gut and you won't have regrets!

                        Ive looked at a few metros that have had the a frame rotted out, and I'm sure I can fix it but I don't want another project. The festivas feel more safe, like there's some more material there. The 3cyl is way to whimpy, but im after mpgs. I would feel safer going 70mph in a festiva than a metro. I hope the rear suspensions on the car is solid, that's where they usually go right?

                          You give me too much credit!
                          If I had fab skills, like the guy who did this for me, I'd be employed now!
                          I'd be happy to see if we couldn't have my hitch reproduced if you have someone who could do it.
                          I could use another myself!

                            If I can see your hitch I can make one. All I need is some measurements, I have all the tools to do it. I know a place where I can get materials for cheap.
