1991 Geo Metro lsi convertable review from North America
"Very reliable! With outstanding mpg"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the catalytic converter at 142,000 miles. Minor repairs such as latch on the convertible top had to be replaced because of wind catching the top and ripping it out. The cost was 20 bucks. Also, the knobs for the windshield wipers on dash come flying off when switching speeds.
General comments?
Geo Metros have ran in my family. The oldest one in the family is a 1989 2 door hatchback with a current mileage of 368,000 miles on it still running strong. Also, a 1994 2 door hatchback with a current mileage of 234,000 miles on it still no problems with one clutch replacement. Besides my 1991 Lsi, my sister has a 1998 Lsi 2 door hatchback with mileage of 56,000 miles on it. It hasn't burped once.
They are a great commuter cars. But, nothing to race with.
They don't have a much get up and go, but getting around is what you want with very high mpg, this is your car.
My Lsi automatic convertible gets 45 mpg. The oldest Geo Metro mentioned, 1989 gets around 50 mpg stick shift of course.
