1989 Geo Metro review from North America
"Tiny little car, easy and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the head rebuilt about 50,000 miles ago.
General comments?
Anyone can work on these cars, there is nothing to them, I mean everything is right there on top. I guess that's one reason I keep the thing around, I can do all servicing myself.
I bought this car new in 1990 when I went to the Chevy dealer to get a Cavalier Z24, but I was a new buyer, only 18 and had no credit, and I ended up with this new creature called Geo and I have never regretted it.
