1995 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"A cute and quick little car that's a pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning system failed (three separate leaks) at about 65000. Crack in exhaust manifold that would not pass emissions. Air bag system light came on and would not go out, or pass inspection. These are the only things I've had it in to service for (not counting tires). I do everything else, which has included replacing two very rusty front brake rotors when I first bought it and brake shoes a couple of times. The only time it EVER stranded me was when I broke a (cheap aluminum copy) key off in the ignition.
General comments?
This is a VERY reliable car. It could use a bit more power to carry four people or power the A/C, but otherwise it is just fine.
PS: To other 1995 Geo drivers - after hunting for a LOOOONG time for a manual for my model and year, without any luck, I finally found an original (1000+ pages) GM dealer service shop manual on e-bay.
