1996 Geo Metro 3-door review from North America
"A good, cheap, economical car."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Put a new exhaust on.
Changed front brake pads.
Installed a new radiator and hoses.
General comments?
This car averages 45-48 mpg in mixed driving. The motor makes 55 horsepower which is usually adequate, unless it's hilly. It feels cheap and it is a cheap car, but it has not let me down in my first year of driving this car, and I appreciate the fuel savings at the pump.
