1997 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Very dependable car with great mileage!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The lighter broke.
The hatch-back broke and can only be opened from the inside.
The lever that you pull to fold the back seat down broke; I glued it back on and it now works fine.
General comments?
I love this car!
When this car finally dies, which I doubt will be anytime soon, I will buy another just like it!
I love the small size: It's easy to park, it's easy to drive, and it's fun!
It looks tiny from the outside, but two of my friends sit in the back seat all the time: one weighs over 300 lbs, and the other is over 6'5". They both fit comfortably!
The seats are great, but on a long trip they start to get a little bit uncomfortable. This is solved with a pillow.
Awesome gas mileage.
Extremely dependable, never had a problem with the engine.
