1993 Geo Metro review from North America
"Great gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car with poor exhaust system.
General comments?
I bought this little car for gas mileage to go to work and back, and have fallen in love with it. I get 52 MPG out of it in all around driving. I removed the belt for the air conditioner (don't need it here anyway), and put a free flowing exhaust system on it.
Previous to this, I drove a Ford SUV, and when I took a new job quite a distance from home, I wanted to get more that 16 MPG. I bought the GEO for $1000, and figure in gas savings alone, I will be money ahead in under 5 months. Funny thing is, I love driving it, so now my SUV sits in the driveway even on weekends! I'm making more money than I ever have, and I'm not pouring it into my car in gas, and the best part, everyone in town gives me sympathy because they figure I must be going broke because I drive this crappy little car instead of my SUV!! Haha, the jokes on them. I've never put more in the bank before!
