1992 Geo Metro review from North America
"Worst car EVER. Don't buy one. Learn from my mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt went.
Head gasket went 3 days after I bought it.
Burned about a quart of oil every 3 days.
Distributor stopped working for no reason.
Rust appeared almost out of nowhere.
Brake lines blew out.
Emergency cable broke the day before safety inspection.
Transmission wouldn't shift on it's own.
Sub-frame and control arm broke, sending the wheel off into the woods.
General comments?
This car is by far the worst thing I have ever owned in my entire life. It was in the shop at least half of the time I owned it.
It was gutless garbage.
It was amazing on fuel, but since it broke all the time I didn't really save any money there.
It gave me nothing, but trouble from the moment I bought it to the moment it went to the junk yard to get crushed.
