1997 Geo Metro review from North America
"A fun little car that is also cute looking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no problems with car so far.
General comments?
The car has performed great so far. It makes a great city and highway car. I find that small cars like this really work best with manual transmission. The mileage for highway driving is 50 mpg with the 1 liter 3 cylinder engine. The trade off is it is not the fastest car, but then again I am not out to race it either. For a small car, it rides nice, but it is not a luxury car either. I like the feeling of being one with the car. It handles like a sports car, but has a great amount of space to carry my bikes. As long as the maintenance is keep up, the car runs fine. Overall, a great basic transportation car that looks great!
