1990 Geo Metro review from North America
"Great little cars!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well the car was running good for a long time with no problems, then one day it would start but switch right back off, and then it wouldn't start back again for many hours. Came to find out the engine had lost compression, this must be a major problem with these things, because every mechanic I talked to told me they are bad about this happening.
General comments?
I will not complain about this car though because up until that day I never had a single problem. I have a rebuilt engine in it now and it's running just fine like before. It also gets great gas mileage.
