1996 Geo Metro review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door window comes off track.
Drivers floor mat doesn't stay in place and becomes a driving hazard.
General comments?
We had a 1995 Suzuki Swift years ago, and it had the same issue with the drivers door window. So did our friends. Just after getting this car used, the window in it fell off track. With the number of reports of the same issue, I suspect this is a manufacturing defect, and am contacting GM (manufacturers of Geo) to try and have it repaired. Other reports would be useful to illustrate how widespread the issue is.
Otherwise it's a GREAT little car! I love it because I commute, and the costs are a lot less. I bought it because I had loved the Suzuki Swift so much. I HIGHLY reccommend it - as long as you don't open the window!
