Geo Metro XFi
While all Metros were pretty Spartan affairs, there was one that was stripped to the bone for maximum fuel efficiency. The Metro XFi was introduced in 1990, strutting into the market with exceptional fuel economy numbers, especially in the pre-Prius world.

Geo ripped every bit of nonessential weight out of the Metro XFi. Even the passenger-side mirror was an option. It came only with a five-speed manual transmission, since automatics of the era were not as efficient as rowing your own gears. The Metro’s interior wasn’t just a sea of cheap plastics; it was a sea of super-thin cheap plastics.
