1990 Geo Storm GSi review from North America
"Speedy little mouse of a car with above average reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Weld broke in the exhaust manifold (that was probably my fault, it shouldn't have done that).
Passenger side seat belt buckle broke off; no clue how that one happened.
Doors wouldn't close when it gets cold out... the latch in the door froze a bit.. it will close if you warm up the car a bit.
General comments?
This car has definitely been worth buying. I've only had to take it into the shop a few times over the past few years I've had it.
I'm a mediocre short person so I had no problem with the space (I'm never sitting in the back but my friends tell me it's quite cramped *grin*); so if you're a tall person this car is probably not for you.
Top speed I've gotten it to is 102mph and I probably could've gotten it up faster if I had a longer stretch of road to drive it on.
