We recently drove the passenger van version of the Metris, and you could say that we were less than impressed. Does the Metris work better as a cargo van? You'll have to read the reviews below.
Specification-wise, the Metris cargo van and passenger van are pretty much identical save for a distinct lack of seats in the cargo van. Power comes from a turbocharged inline-four that produces a humble 208 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.
The example we were given for the week was configured in an odd way. It featured almost all of the available options, including rear wipers. However, a solid partition--a dealer-installed accessory--was also added, making it impossible to see out the back windows and rendering the rear wipers useless.
Besides that, the Metris has up to 199 cubic feet of space and a 5000-pound towing capacity, depending on which wheelbase length you pick.
