1989 Geo Spectrum review from North America
"My Geo Spectrum is a great sub-compact!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the clutch and the CV joint boots.
The dashboard is cracking from extreme cold.
I replaced the shocks at 80,000 miles.
General comments?
This car is very reliable and I highly recommend it for basic transportation. I get 41 mpg on the freeway. I use it primarily for work, so I do not have a great number of miles on it. At 91,000 miles, it does not burn any oil and runs like a top!
