1990 Chevrolet Metro review from North America
"Reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car at around 45,000 miles and drove it for about 103,000 miles. I had to have the timing belt and clutch replaced when the vehicle hit around 100,000 on the odometer (normal maintenance). The drivers seat also became very uncomfortable and needed to be replaced at around 100,000 miles. At around 148,000 miles the catalytic converter went and that is when I decided the car was just too old and needed to go. Water pump blew up for the next owner not too long after that (good thing I gave him the car).
General comments?
I drove this vehicle for about eight years without having to put a lot of money into it. I got around 45 miles per gallon highway mileage. I liked it a lot.
