1996 Geo Metro review from North America
"One of the very best cars I have ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have changed oil every 10,000 and put new brakes on it, new tires, but no major repairs.
General comments?
This has been a very dependable inexpensive little car, it in slightly under powered for highway driving, but a great around town car! I love this car much better than many I have owned. I will miss it when the day comes to get rid of it. It has been one of the best cars I ever owned. I like the way it looks, it is easy to park, it has never given me reason to dislike anything about it, except the power issue. For the money it has been in the top three cars I have ever owned and I can't say enough good things about it!
