1996 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Not built to last!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wiper fluid motor went 2 days after I bought it.
A/C constantly breaks/leaks. Controls "slip" so that on/off do not work right.
Transmission started making noises at 50,000 miles.
Bearings died at 66000 miles - this is ridiculous!! I thought these were supposed to last forever! Oil was changed religiously, even used expensive oil & filters.
Dealership never fixed things definitively.
General comments?
It was decent transportation until now!!
I took excellent care of it, and it still is dying very soon!!
