1992 Geo Metro review from North America
"For the money, you can't beat em!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator is dinky. I've had to replace it 3 times.
The door windows would not stay in the frames. I had a lot of problems with them.
General comments?
I have owned previously a 1986 Sprint and because of it's performance, (almost a million miles) I bought a 92 Geo which I still own.
These are fantastic cars overall with good performance and high mileage.
I am thinking of buying a newer model. Probably a 2000 or so.
You can't go wrong with these cars if you don't expect lots of luxury.
