1996 Geo Metro review from North America
"Great on gas, superior on dependability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the exhaust. This happened at approximately 50,000 kilometers.
My rear defrost stopped working at around 100,000 kilometers.
I had to replace the wiper washer motor.
General comments?
This car has been extremely reliable. I have had very few problems and it requires little maintenance.
It would be great for a student.
It's extremely cheap on gas. It makes travel very inexpensive.
What you sacrifice on luxury (no extras!), you make up for on reliability.
