1992 Geo Metro Hatchback review from North America
"If properly maintained, this car will go far!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car is running on 2 cylinders. I'm replacing the engine soon.
I needed to replace the alternator.
I replaced the front brakes and rotors.
I replaced the front control arm.
I've had a hard time with wipers, and the driver's side wiper pops out of the socket.
General comments?
I am driving this car on 2 cylinders. When I bought the car it only had 2 cylinders, so it has gone at least 25,000kms (50,000 miles) on 2 cylinders with few problems (it's much slower).
This car is great. It's very cheap to run, and it's pretty comfortable considering I'm a 6'2, 340lb man.
If maintained properly, this car will be perfect for singles, or for very small families who need a 2nd car.
