1993 Geo Metro review from North America
"Lawn mower with a top"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lost pressure in one of the cylinders (note: car has only 3)
Burned oil like crazy.
Inside door handle broken.
Bad gas mileage for the size of car.
General comments?
A red lemon. The car seems to be glued together with spit. The engine is shaky and completely unreliable. I don't know how many times I had to have the car towed.
Automatic transmission could not stay idle in D. Every time I had to stop at a traffic light, I had to put in neutral, or the car would die.
Interior is surprisingly roomy for the driver and front passenger. The interior and body did not seem to deteriorate at the same fast speed as the engine did.
Car just acts like a big toy. Very poor quality.
