1987 Geo Metro review from North America
"Possibly the perfect economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had no problems at all with the car for the 18 months that I owned it.
General comments?
I loved my Metro. It got mad gas mileage and performed perfectly adequately for my needs. Insurance and maintenance cost next to nothing. I took it on multiple road trips through the Rockies and Sierra Nevadas; it never faltered once. I've owned some 20 cars since then and have been kicking myself ever since for getting rid of it.
