1989 Geo Spectrum review from North America
"A decent car for a gentle driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
AC squeaks repeatedly.
CV shaft.
Muffler.
Cloth interior got ripped.
General comments?
Can't take a beating from a crazy teenager.
It is slow as expected.
Back seats are cramped.
Engine stinks after five minutes of "real" driving.
Lacks most luxuries, but you get what you pay for.
Make sure you don't have an accident and you won't end up spending more than what you paid for it.
