1994 Geo Metro review from North America
"Outstanding bargain for how it keeps going"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner quit at 35,000, and had to replace compressor.
Problem keeping alternator belt tight to prevent squealing.
Normal wear and replacement of brake pads, city driving causes faster wear-out of pads.
Driver window roller problem.
General comments?
Car has no serious mechanical problems.
Excellent car for running around town.
Daughter now drives and it is a great first car. I plan on keeping until it falls apart.
