1993 Geo Metro review from North America
"A small performance bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced front & rear brakes at 100,000 miles.
Replaced two bent rims (driver's fault).
Driver's door handle broke at 97,000 miles.
Windshield length crack from a rock on interstate 95 in 1999.
Replaced the clutch at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
For such a small engine the car will pull 95-100 MPH on the highway easily.
Acceleration off the line is amazing.
Very easy to work on and replacement parts are very cheap.
Cabin capacity for awkward cargo is great (i.e. 2-3 6'6" surfboards).
Very reliable. Has never broken down.
