1990 Geo Metro Sedan Hatchback review from North America
"Good while it lasted"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings.
Buttons popped off the dash.
Valves went bad.
Threw a piston.
General comments?
Good car while it lasted, the small engine can't take much abuse though. I guess the three cylinders can only take so much.
Automatic is awfully slow.
Gas mileage is great.
A/C drains the engine of all power.
