1994 Geo Metro review from North America
"It's an OK car for a young first driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt went at 139000 miles.
Fuel leakage due to hit and run accident.
Back seat creaks when going over a rough road.
Speakers replaced.
Muffler and exhaust pipe.
General comments?
I received this car as a gift from my uncle, it was his car previously. It came from being in the snow and sleet to the humid and dry weather. The pipes underneath had to be replaced because they were rusted and corrosive from the salt that is placed on roads during the winter. I have used this car as a means to get to school and work, and it gets really good gas mileage.
