1996 Geo Metro Geo review from North America
"A good savings investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior upholstery has come undone from ceiling. Seats are in good shape.
General comments?
After 8 years and 190,000 miles, this car still delivers 40+ miles to the gallon.
Have had oil changed religiously at every 3,000 miles and it burns no significant amount between changes.
Tune ups, tire rotation, and muffler replacement are the only other maintenance performed.
It is a shame this car is no longer manufactured as there is a need for it with today's gas prices.
There has been no engine work required.
Best part of the Metro is the money is saves you to allocate toward something else.
This is a perfect car for someone whose only concern is getting from point A to point B at the least amount of cost.
