1989 Geo Metro review from North America
"A perfect bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the following:
Water pump
Coil
Radiator Fan
Alternator
Battery
All of the plastic pieces are broken (door handles, window cranks, glove box)
General comments?
This car looks bad, but runs great. I have put $0 into it for the past 6 years. It runs well for a daily work car. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of this car. I would recommend this car to anyone on a budget who needs a reliable car.
