1992 Geo Metro LSi Convertible review from North America
"Cheap, reliable, convertible for around town!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking driver's side rear brake cylinder. Cheap fix and nothing else has broken since.
Changed all fluids, hoses, belts and tires when I took ownership.
New convertible top... old one had a hazy rear window.
General comments?
I bought this car used and have loved it. I knew it was just a small 3-banger, but I didn't care. It ran well, was cheap ($2100), was a convertible, and was in very nice shape cosmetically.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a NEW Geo Metro sedan, but not the ugly (my opinion) coupe. Too bad Geo/Chevy is no longer producing a Metro Convertible.
