1993 Geo Metro review from North America
"Small engine, Great gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hmmmm...
I bought this car for 1400$ CND. It was on its last legs.
Things that were broken when I bought it:
____________________________________
It had a blown head gastket.
The tires were bald.
The body was dented, but not badly rusted, but the rocker panel under the driver door had rusted out pretty bad.
The transmission would vibrate in reverse.
The radio was in pretty bad shape. The rear speakers were blown. The radio works, but the tape deck just makes a buzz noise and doesn't eject the tape or play any music off the tape.
General comments?
I own a 66 impala and it has less wear than this eco box has after only 10 years, I would not want to see this car in 40 years.
Great Gas economy, for a student this is a great car.
Generally low maintenance.
