1990 Geo Metro Base 2 door hatch back review from North America

"A gutsy little economy car that is endearing to me."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioner quit working 2 years ago.

Front wheel bearings went out.

Front brake rotors needed replacing.

Timing belt broke and was replaced at 155,000 miles along with all other belts and both front engine oil seals [which had been leaking].

Rear hatch struts had to be replaced 3 years ago.

Front camshaft oil seal and crankshaft oil seal were replaced when timing belt was replaced. Was leaking oil. Not leaking anymore.

Door locks are troublesome, especially in cold weather.

Drivers window is hard to roll up and down.

Turn signal/headlight dimmer switch quit working about 5 weeks ago. Have not been able to find replacement part.

Muffler replaced twice and catylytic converter was replaced at 148,000 miles.

Interior hood release handle broke off last week.

Dashboard cover cracked in front of center heater dash vents.

Heater blower motor had to be replaced last October.

Thermostat had to be replaced last week.

General comments?

Bought it from local bank almost 11 years ago.

Fantastic gas mileage, fun to drive, always starts!

Has original clutch at 162,000 miles!

Will hold a lot of groceries in the hatch area and when rear seat is folded down, is like a little station wagon.

Interior appointments and controls are pretty poor in quality, but for the price, not that bad.
