1995 Geo Metro review from North America
"The highest quality car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car:
The left side drive axle was clicking. I replaced it myself.
Brake pads were almost non-existent. Replaced them myself.
Water pump was leaking badly. I repaced that myself. Took me four hours, but I did it on my own and saved about $500.
A/C needed recharging. I did that myself too.
General comments?
I bought the four door Geo for $450.
I've put about $400 into it and now it's a perfectly running car that will last forever.
I've also put a ten inch sub woofer and amp in the trunk, and the sound is awesome.
The car handles well, but the speed is suffering. I would say it's more of an around town car, less a freeway car.
For a three-speed automatic it's not bad.
The gas mileage is amazing!
