1991 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Pure economical fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace struts and shocks at 179,000. Front end would shake violently at any speed over 45mph, even after having tires rebalanced. I replaced front struts and rear shocks at a cost of about $150. Well worth the cost.
This car had a crate engine with about 50,000 on it when I bought it.
Had rear window replaced when purchased at a cost of $200.
General comments?
This is one of the most fun cars to drive I have ever owned.
I am 6'4' and am surprised how much room there is for such a small car.
Impressively spunky for a 1.0.
