1991 Geo Metro review from North America
"These are great little cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken control arm support
No compression in motor.
General comments?
We love our little metro's, but around the area that we live people are having problems with the control arm supports rusting and breaking. I was curious to know if anyone knows of how to fix this problem. These little cars are so efficient with gas and they are so much cheaper to run than our Astro Van. But know we have 2 metros with the same problem with the broken supports.
We changed the motor that was in the car out with a rebuilt one. I was surprised how little it cost to have one of those little things rebuilt.
