1992 Geo Metro LSi Convertible review from North America
"Small wonder from Geo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1) Driver's side interior door handle snapped off.
2) Dash cracked.
3) Exhaust has came loose twice.
4) Windows are coming off track.
General comments?
The Metro is a very reliable car, it has never failed to start. I do wish that the interior pieces were made a little better, but I guess all cars in that class are like that after awhile. The little car has no power at all, I don't mind though because it gets excellent gas mileage. I wonder how much longer the little car is going to go, it doesn't use any oil, but the car is losing power. I imagine though that a 3 cylinder engine isn't going to stay strong forever. The top down is a fun option in the fall or spring, the a/c takes awhile to cool down in the dead of summer. I've driven the later year model Metros 95-97 and they are a great improvement over these early models.
