1997 Geo Metro review from North America
"A very economical car, keep an eye on those transmission to engine bolts"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission to engine bolts have come lose several times. Damaging the clutch
disk.
General comments?
Owner feels the engine block needs a mount to the firewall. Single transmission mount to firewall is insufficient.
The car is a snap to repair. I have rebuilt the engine. And find the parts to be very reasonably priced. For the home mechanic, the operation and upkeep of this vehicle is very easy on the pocket. I'll probably be driving mine for years to come.
