1997 Geo Metro Base review from Poland

Tail Lights break down on long drives

Doors squeak

Has serious difficulty stopping and going on hills

poor visibility to back

very uncomfortable and small seating in back

Side mirror fell off.

I purchased this car at a used auto lot in Katowice, Poland.It was imported from the US. I like American cars and luckily I can afford them, not only the car, but also parts etc. It looked like a cool small car. It wouldn't be my only car and I wanted it to be for my daughter to drive and for her to have a car of her own. I purchased it and my daughter loved it... for the first 2 months. After that the first signs of a cheap car were showing up, first side mirror falling off which I fixed by taking it to a shop where they re installed it. Then tail light problems, I replaced lights 2 times a month atleast until I gave up. My daughter stopped driving the car because she complained it was too small to drive her friends and that it had poor visibility and a weak engine (too bad she didn't notice earlier).I simply had to sell the car losing 10000zlotys (about 5000 dollars american) in the transaction note I only had it for 9 months!It was a major disappointment and now I know a little better how to shop for american cars.
