1991 Geo Metro base review from North America
"Best car I've owned and I have owned over 100 cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator went prematurely 150,000. Clutches last right at 100k, I do drive hard. 1 bad exhaust valve at 200k exhaust lasts about 90k. Map sensor went bad 212k.
General comments?
Absolutely the best car I have ever owned. I believe it is the best available in the u.s. It has truly averaged 43mpg since purchased new. Still has original; starter, wheel bearings, struts, shocks, steering components (changed both ball joints) alternator. The original battery lasted 10.5 years 185k. No rips in interior, car is quick will run about 100mph, very comfortable with cruise on.
