1991 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Reliable, comfy, and an all-around great little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than the scratches and dings that I have put on the poor little car, nothing has gone too terribly wrong.
The only thing that ever just broke out of the blue was the fuel pump (which is only moderately expensive if you befriend or are a competent car-tinkerer).
Every other problem was related to normal wear (tires, clutch, wiper blades... blah blah etc)
General comments?
I must say that the leaky sunroof is a bit of a hassle when it actually rains around here, but since that's rare, I don't worry much. The car is a gem to drive and to work on. No matter how much I push the little thing down the freeway, it just keeps on ticking along. Parts are cheap and accessible.
The Metro is an under-appreciated, though thoroughly lovable vehicle (drive one around for a bit, you'll see).
