1991 Geo Storm GSi review from North America

Normal wear and tear, but it does seem as though I have replaced the exhaust too many times.

Although it does have a driver's side airbag - I hope I'm never in an accident in this car. There isn't much protection and I don't always feel safe.

The sticker on the inside of the door reads - fits four adults comfortably. This might be stretching it just a bit. The back seat is for folks under 4 feet tall - with most Americans the average height is about 5'7".

What can I say... 246,000+ miles and still going. I spend about $1000 a year on upkeep due to wear and tear, a little more if I replace the timing belt.

I have replaced the timing belt every 60,000 as requested which is probably my saving grace.

Around 1998 I replaced the transmission with a used one - so far so good.

The first battery lasted six years and I've only replaced the struts once. Just this past year I had to replace the alternator and the idling motor. Not bad for 10 years of driving.

The dealership that I work with is fantastic - they recently told me I may want to replace the belts and hoses as most are original.

The car still gets about 30 MPG, but most of my driving is highway miles (at least 660+ miles a week). I must admit I am really bad at getting the oil changed every 3,000 as they say I should. I don't have the time and I usually go about every 12,000 (The guys at the shop usually have something so say about this).

I intend to run this car until I have to push it. I was recently thinking about having it repainted. With God's help, and the dealership, I plan on getting at least another 100,000 miles more out of it :)
