1992 Geo Metro LSi Convertible review from North America
"A reliable, inexpensive sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No lie: a bolt flew into my car -- which the dealer said was possibly from the side of the road -- which destroyed the carburettor, and consequently the engine needed to be rebuilt. Augh!!! Beyond that, all I do is change the oil every 2,500 miles and it's good to go.
General comments?
This is a great economy sports car, and very inexpensive (I recently read the car was $11,000 new in 1992, but still worth about $4,000 now -- a fairly good return for an eight-year-old car). Fun to drive and handles curves very well!
