1992 Geo Metro LSI Convertible review from North America
"Powerless car, very reliable though"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear window split.
General comments?
I've been disappointed with this car, even though I hate to say that because I've wanted one of these cars for a long time.
There is NO acceleration at all, EVERYTHING can pass you.
Top leaks more than you would think it would.
A/C pulls the engine down so much that you can't really run it unless you are already in motion before you switch it on.
So far it's been really reliable. Engine winds out at extreme RPM on interstate. Gas mileage is very good, but extremely poor with the A/C running.
