1990 Geo Metro LSI Convertible review from North America
"Best purchase that I have ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the Battery @ 52,000 miles and the Brakes @ 38,000 miles and 56,000 due to rusting and pitting while stored for the winter).
General comments?
I purchased this car in College in 1990. It took me through College problem free. I have always maintained oil changes every 3,000 miles and it has been tuned up once in 1998. It is a great little car that everyone loves everywhere I go. It still looks and drives like new. You won't win any speed racer awards, but you won't have any problems cruising along @ 75 mph and getting 35 mpg while doing it! It is fun to drive, comfortable with a surprising amount of room inside. The trunk is large for a car of its size (I have had 2 sets of golf clubs in it). While in college it was my primary vehicle and I got around everywhere winter and summer without any problems. If you are looking for a great car that's fun to drive and virtually problem free I recommend the GEO Metro Convertible.
