Today I drove a 1988 Justy - this is the second Justy I've driven and the oldest (as well as the first manual trans one too)
Can I say that it's better than the Geo Metro? Yes I can, the three-cylinder engine was about as smooth as one could expect a three-cylinder engine to be, and the car was practically free from all the buzzings most cars this size have.
What's more, this car was at 145,000 miles and didn't smoke or leak oil like the Geo I drove that had slightly more miles on it!
However there was one big difference - the Justy just feels so much smaller than the Geo - and the clutch is heavy and imprecise (you really can't feel it catch)
Other than that, a great small car.
