1993 Geo Storm review from North America
"I love my Storm!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After I first purchased it, a coil went bad causing it occasionally to not start. This was only a $50 repair at a trusted mechanic. (I don't go to dealerships)
The next repair was my fault. The timing belt broke because at 120000 miles I still hadn't changed it.
A few minor problems:
Sometimes the key will not turn after I put it into the ignition. I just leave a key in the ignition all the time to solve this.
Somehow the part that holds the door open broke off and fell inside the panel. This doesn't bother me enough to want to spend money on it.
Other than the brakes and tires, there have been no other repairs!!
General comments?
This has been an excellent car. Few repairs have been needed, and it's still going strong at 176000 miles.
The body is a little dented and dinged as it is not very strong material, but I prefer a good engine to good looks.
On another note, for a 4 cylinder engine this car has get up and go! It will never beat a V6 off the line, but probably standard car with a 4 cylinder engine (Although, I have never tried racing it.)
