1989 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"A surprisingly tough little powerplant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump started leaking when I was trying to blow the motor (it just won't die) Replaced timing belt.
Body is pretty much gone.
General comments?
I got this car in exchange for a tuneup. I really had no intention of keeping it for too long, just having some fun with it and junking it, This car refuses to die, so I figured I would keep it because it runs so good and gets killer gas mileage. I never figured a 3 cylinder could take so much abuse (numerous attempts to blow it up) This car is ultra reliable.
