1992 Geo Metro review from North America
"Great Car!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced 2 or 3 clutches.
Heat wouldn't heat fast enough.
Replaced multiple front tires due to wear.
Had a hole in the muffler.
Front ball joints were shot.
Driver's side window mechanism broke.
General comments?
The car was definitely a very good car. It had excellent gas mileage although I owned it about three years ago now so it wasn't that big of a deal.
The three clutches that needed to be replaced were due to letting my mother-in-law borrow the car.
I owned the 5-speed manual which was best.
The car never had electrical problems. Radio antenna was definitely in a bad position though. It snapped multiple times. Although it was easy to replace.
I would love to find another in good condition with a manual transmission.
Anyone who owns or knows somebody who owns that wants to sell please comment and let me know if you reside in the U.S.
