1995 Geo Metro from North America - Comments

Well while I had it nothing really, I think I had the A/C charged once because it was getting kind of weak.

Here is my general comment, I no longer have this car because I was hit in the side by a Ford Escort which ran a red light. I just wanted to say that this small car saved me in a wreck. I thought when I saw the car coming that it was over but the little thing held up well, I mean it was totalled but hey you can scratch one and the insurance company totals them. I now have a 1997 Geo Prizm LSI paid off thanks to the driver of that Ford Escort which by the way did worse in the wreck than I did.

You said it. These cars hold up very well. I've got a 95 with about 206,000 miles on it. I got rear-ended by a Mustang, he was going about 45, and it help up nicely. The Mustang had to get the whole front end replaced. You couldn't even tell we'd been hit. On top of that, the Mustang got hit too which means that we got hit twice at the same time. We got shoved into a car in front of us. That just popped the headlight out which we popped back in. Although this sounds pretty good, the frame was totally bent up. It totalled the car. So we kept it and took the salvage money to buy new seats. They got bent back cause of the force. The car still drives fine. I love that car!

I own 95 Suzuki swift which been rebuilt twice after serious crashes. First time I changed hood, bumper, rad, rad support and left fender. And of course airbags. the second time it was right wheel, fender, rad. support again and some suspension parts, and airbags blew again.

All I try to say is: this car holds front and side impact way better than other cars in its weight range between 825 to 1000 kg. Of course it's not a VOLVO, but I am pretty sure it is a safe car to drive.
