1992 Geo Metro Lsi Convertible review from North America
"A cute car with attitude"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
While I have only had the car for a short time, the only problem with the car is the tires starting to dry rot from the previous owner not driving the car.
General comments?
I got the car from a private party who only drove it 3 miles to and from work. I think I put more miles on the car in two weeks than they did in two months!
I have taken the car off road and it was rocky. Clearance is quite amazing for a small car and it handled wonderfully, even fully loaded of camping equipment and a heavy passenger. The only problem was going up steep hills and trying to find a good rpm between 1st and 2nd gear.
The top is so simple to put down and up and the trunk has a ton of space!
I am tall at 5'10" and do not fit in my friends Miata with my knees hitting the steering wheel. This is not the case in my Lsi. I put the seat all the way back and have TONS of leg room! More than in my VW.
