1997 Geo Metro review from North America
"Overall, a great little car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the clutch when I got it at 151000. Had to fix lights at 155000...One wire was burnt up. The blower vent only works on 4 and sometimes on 3.
General comments?
This car has been an excellent little car. If I had to choose between an 97 Metro and a 97 Corvette for reliability I would keep my car. Gets great gas mileage. The only thing I don't like about it is that the gas tank seems to be to small at only 8 gallons. I can go approx. 280 miles on one tank.
