1992 Geo Metro review from North America
"Excellent Car for the Money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased the car for $550, I had to replace the water pump ($79) and the timing belt ($250).
General comments?
I love this car!!!. I'm 6'2" #235 and the car is very comfortable. The bucket seats have great lumbar support. I commute 100 miles a day in it. The gas mileage is amazing between 40 and 50 miles per gallon. I treat the car well. I never go over 75mph and it treats me well. I can however take it to 90mph if I need to. I change the oil every 5000 miles as per the manual. The only thing I don't like is the wind noise, so I crank up the stereo. I also love that it is a hutchback. I have nicknamed it the truck. It can haul everything, including several pieces of furniture, a 32 inch TV still in the box, a large lawn mower. This is my little work horse.
