1996 Geo Metro LSI review from North America
"It is a great fuel efficient car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the throttle sensor 80$ (revs up on its own when you hold in the clutch with a poor one), EGR valve $90, oil pan gasket $5, and the hatchback door is frustrating to open. right front speaker is shorted.
General comments?
I like it as far as gas mileage goes. I get around 39-43 mpg, depending on how I drive it. It is defiantly not a car for racing or accelerating fast, considering it is a 3-cylinder 1.0 liter engine. I don't really like the fact that it does accelerate slow, b/c I like speed. If you like speed, then I don't recommend this car. If you are about saving money on gas, and having a dependable car, yes it is worth your money.
