1996 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Great car for the METRO area"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little. The only problem that I have had with my little Walnut is that it began to make a tinkering noise. To correct the problem, I simply got into an accident. NEW CAR!!!
General comments?
This vehicle is a very comfortable, affordable, and cheap to run all around heap on wheels. For one of the smallest cars manufactured, they give you an incredible amount of space. Can easily fit four mid-sized persons. A great feature of the car is the airbags and the seat-belts. I had the fortunate disposition to test both of them out. A collision of 25 mph almost head on was an experience with a car of this stature. In other words, TOTALED. Please, if you are going to buy a car of this type then don't do a lot of freeway driving. At 65 or 70 mph, I wouldn't have been so lucky. Great all around METRO driving car.
