1990 Geo Metro XFI review from North America
"The most dependable, economical, and fuel efficient car currently available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing ever went wrong with this vehicle.
General comments?
This car is a true mileage champ. The throttle body on the XFI must differ greatly from the LSI because on the highway the fuel savings for the XFI are much greater.
I had factory air installed in the car at the dealership, and I swear, you could hang meat in it... it was so cold.
I drove from Florida to Tennessee the summer I bought it, and running at 65mph with the air on, I still got 63 mpg.
I now have a 1995 Metro, the last year of the 1.0L and it has no where near the power, speed, or fuel economy of the earlier Metros.
