1989 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"A sported-out Geo can handle everyday life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The passenger door frequently gets jammed.
The exhaust system sometimes backs-up.
The front bumper is unstable.
The interior switches broke easily.
General comments?
The little car is worth the money.
It gets me everywhere I need to go.
Sporting it out is very cheap and inexpensive.
The Geo is one of the first cars I have never needed to professionally service.
Everything can be done at home.
The interior housing seems very unstable and a lot of rattling noises. My stereo system took care of that though.
The steering is very difficult over time.
