1995 Geo Metro Base review from North America
"Best car I've ever owned of more than 20 vehicles over decades"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner needed recharging at 65,000 miles.
Driver's door inside handle failed 125,000 miles.
General comments?
Excellent value and fuel economy. Still gets over 40 mpg and it's 13 model years old with over 130,000 miles. Tools along at 65-70 on the highway with no problems at all. Occasionally you can feel the wind, but no more than in my minivan.
After rebate when I bought this car, it was under $7,500. What a deal. If they still made these, I would definitely buy another. Sad commentary on the world of automobiles that this Canadian-built vehicle (with a Suzuki engine) is no longer available.
