1996 Geo Metro LSI review from North America
"Great long lasting car, but when it quits it is expensive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In 2002 the original engine blew out. In 2003 the air conditioner went out. In 2004 the water pump and timing belt were replaced. In 2005 the transmission went out. The lining around the windows were worn when I bought the car. Both side mirrors fell off.
General comments?
This was a great car while it lasted.
When the transmission went out I finally retired the car and sold it for parts.
