1996 Geo Metro review from North America
"Great little car, dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
Great economic car, lacks any luxurious features, but seriously dependable.
I wish they'd manufacture new GEOs.
It didn't spend much time in shop except regular maintenance. Engine and road noise is bad but it runs great. 30 mpg on highway, 21 mpg in city. Never gave me any trouble except the first time I bought I had to replace a few parts, probably due to previous owner's carelessness.
