1994 Geo Metro 2 door review from North America
"Commuter special!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hood latch rusted -replaced with junkyard part.
Replaced original clutch at 125,000.
Driver window track worn- replaced with junkyard parts.
Replaced brakes and wheel bearings.
General comments?
I was given this car from the original owner. I drive it daily in all weather. (handles great in the snow!) I am 6'-1" and can fit comfortably in the car. I get 45-52 Miles per gallon. It is fun to drive is quite peppy and handles fairly well. I found that parts are cheap and readily available (new and used). I does however, gets "lost" in traffic, I don't think other drivers see it all that well. It costs me about 5 cents a mile to drive and maintain. I will drive it until the wheels fall off!
