1990 Geo Metro Four door hatchback review from North America

Well since I've had the car the only major thing that has happened until recently was a severe oil leak coming from the oil pan gasket.

Well just last month the poor ole gal took her last breath. I'm afraid I noticed the car was not running right one afternoon and by the time I got home it seemed as if it didn't want to pull at all. After I had gone inside and changed, I came back out meaning to take it to the mechanic up the street, but it wouldn't even start back. For some reason the spark plugs were fouled out so I had a pal bring me over a new set and the car cranked right back, but it was smoking like hell. I did make it to the shop but when the mechanic tried to move it into the garage it wouldn't crank back, it had once again fouled out the plugs...

Well to make a long story short, the 3rd cylinder had lost compression and eventually it caused the engine to lock up so now it sits in the garage waiting...

This car was my favorite car that I've ever had, it was so comfortable for me and the A/C was excellent.

Besides this I've never had a problem. Of course I only paid 6900.00 for the car brand new so I guess 10 years was pretty good for a tiny 3 cylinder engine.
