1990 Geo Storm GSI review from North America
"A lot of fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is pretty amazing. One day I was driving from the store, when I noticed some smoke coming from under the hood and the cab of the car. I pulled over and popped the hood, when flames came rolling out. I accidentally dropped the hood so I had to run around and re-pop the hood and pour my powerade on the fire to put it out. I took it back to the place that I bought it from. They said it was the sensor that controls the E.G.R. valve that malfunctioned and caught fire. I also found out that the part that caught fire, they no longer make. So, they now have to go to the junk yard and get me one. They also said, and I quote, "if we can't find one, you are s.o.l."
General comments?
Don't get me wrong, I love this car. It is a load of fun to drive and they get good fuel millage. The car surprisingly handles corners well, and accelerates out of the turns. I Have a blast just running around town.
