1989 Geo Metro LSi review from North America
"You get what you pay for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver's side windshield wiper wore down, so now it doesn't work.
Driver's side window does not roll all the way up.
Starter has given out, takes about 10 cranks to get it to start.
Parts for this car are obscenely expensive, and difficult to get.
General comments?
Lets look at this in perspective, I bought this car for 1100$, and I'd say it was worth about 1100$.. I put hardly anything into repairs, and it was nice to laugh at all the morons in SUV's while I got 35 mpg when gas was $2 a gallon.
