Replaced the catalytic converter twice.
Replaced both rear wheel bearings at about 150,000 miles.
Had to have the door hinges re-welded.
The heater/defroster system has always been disappointing.
We bought this car new in '89, and it has been the best cost-per-mile car ever! It has 205,000 miles, and we still use it every week, putting about 200 miles a week on it. It still gets 55 mpg, and has the original brakes, clutch, alternator, starter. In fact, nothing has ever gone wrong with it except the things previously mentioned.
I had a 1990 Geo Metro and I loved it. It managed to last until 268,000 miles and the engine gave out. Nothing was ever done to this car except the timing chain was changed several times through the years. The end was rough for the car it had so little power in those last months I could barely stay in traffic I also had the 3-speed transmission so it made it even worse. One day I got in started it put it in reverse and BANG that was it. I later bought a 1997 Metro that has been just as good as the 1990 model.
