1996 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"A overpriced hippie mobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car sprays oil like it struck a well. I take it to my brother for him to fix it, but he can't get a manual anywhere in the continental United States. He also told me he will probably have to pull the engine in order to take the pulleys off.
Also it makes a rattling noise like a cat purring.
The A/C goes out every year.
Both side mirrors fell off.
When the A/C is on, the car takes about as long as sap running down a tree to get to 35mph.
Over all the car is a piece of crap and I do not recommend it to anyone.
