1993 Geo Metro GSi review from North America

"Honda's beware!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

So far since I've bought this very rare car all I've done to it has been replaced all 4 wheel bearings. They seemed to go on right after another.

Driver side window has come off the track twice, but is easy to fix.

The exhaust came off the manifold a few times when I first bought it, but just stopped after fixing it a few times.

The brakes are starting to go, but what can you expect after sitting for a year?

General comments?

Just to clarify first thing that the Geo Metro GSi is a 4 cyl not a 3 cyl. I bought this very rare car for $1200 Canadian last November from a man who bought it for his daughter who ended up not wanting the car so it sat in a barn for about a year. Since I've bought it nothing major has gone wrong, just the stuff you'd expect from a car that sat for a year, wheel bearings and brakes and tires. This car is actually quite the performer. It will keep nose to nose with most Civic (not Vtecs). It gets a lot of looks on the highway too with plenty of passing power. I recently found out its governed after a road race with a newer style Z24. It was a fair, equal race. The speedometer stops at 150 km/h and I was far passed that. I'd say 170-180 km/h. Without a governor who knows what you could accomplish.

If you can get your hands on a GSi for a reasonable price than I wouldn't pass it by. They are the funnest. And very sharp with the cool hubcaps and rear spoiler.
