1995 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"Three cylinder with an extra KICK"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had this car for exactly 2 months before my teenage son blew the thing to pieces trying to race everything he could with this tiny engine.
Well the price to have the engine redone was astronomical.. so the car sat for a few months and a buddy of mine found me a engine for 100.00. Well, when I was putting the thing back together a few friends came by and started talking about the 87-88 Chevy/Geo Sprint that was turbo charged, well after looking for weeks on end I found one for 60.00 and with a good friends help modified it to fit the Metro.
General comments?
Great car, I can run with the best of them and I still get great gas mileage.
