1997 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"A fun car, but not a serious one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The lighter does not work.
The rear defrost does not work.
The air conditioner does not work.
The check engine light came on today.
General comments?
I have enjoyed my little car. The gas mileage has been great until recently. I had the air conditioner fixed once and it lasted throughout the summer.
It is an uncomfortable car to ride in. My husband said he feels as if he is in a fishbowl. It is not one of the safest cars available.
