1997 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Cheap Hippie Mobile that has no Power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel injector nozzles replaced at 30,000 miles.
The door handles and console knobs fell off.
Seats are cheap and falling apart.
General comments?
This car has no power. The engine stinks. It does nothing. When you floor it, the car does nothing. The car slowly moves up to its top speed of 60 MPH. When you follow people so where when there in a better car, which is everything, but a Metro, you get burned. The car takes 5 minutes to get up to 60 MPH. You also can't go up hills. The little engine doesn't do anything to this car. The engine slow drags it up the hill as you hold up traffic because it goes so slow. The car doesn't move on the highway and it feels like it's going to tip over. The engine might save gas, but it takes 3 times as long to get to the place you want to go. The car is also the ugliest car I've every seen. The car looks small and fragile and it also gets made fun of. When you drive the car you need a lot of self-confidence or you'll break down because everyone will make fun of you for driving the Metro. I think this line for the Simpsons sums it up the best. Maudie says,"Step on it Neddy!" Ned complains,"I can't it's a Geo!"
