1992 Geo Metro 2-dr hatchback review from North America
"Durable, easily maintainable and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced engine and MAP Sensor at 382,000 miles when MAP Sensor failed (Burned two valves, but bottom end of engine still good if oil seals are replaced).
Manual transmission has bad synchro in first gear and worn in second, but still driveable.
Drivers side seat cover has been replaced.
Fixed the heater fan switch.
General comments?
Have 424,500 miles on the car and still drive it on a 184 mile round trip commute each day. Still got 47 mpg at 65 mph cruise speed on last tank, with about 5% in city miles included.
