1993 Geo Metro 2-door hatchback review from North America
"Built weakly and not very durable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine had to be replaced.
Muffler had to be replaced.
Needed new front brakes.
Needed a tune-up.
Door locks do not work.
A/C is broken.
Windshield is cracked.
Rim's bent and needed replaced.
General comments?
This car turned out to be a piece of junk. The engine died at only 91,000 miles and needed to be replaced. The good thing is that it was only $1200 to get a rebuilt engine put in and the parts for the Metro are very inexpensive. In addition, it gets great gas mileage. This is offset, however, by the cost of constantly having to replace everything because the car is so flimsy and weakly built and by the inconvenience of having to repair it constantly.
