1997 Geo Metro LSI 3 door review from North America
"A cool, but funny looking car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was used, so most of these things were wrong already when I got it.
The fan switch was broken.
A/C doesn't work anymore after it smoked.
The red paint had a few dings in it. The cigarette lighter didn't work.
A pin was missing on the back brakes.
General comments?
The Metro is awesome on gas, and I've had no problems at all with it since all the little things were fixed.
It does have a lot more speed than I first thought it had. I read about people hating the lack of power steering, but I love it, I can actually feel the road.
It is great for me, it's no VW Jetta VR6, but for now it's doing its job, no complaints from me.
