1992 Geo Storm Reviews - Page 6 of 7

When I purchased the car I was told the air conditioner was fixed simply by adding freon. 2 days later the air conditioner quit and a loud "grinding" sound came from under the hood. The compressor had froze up completely. The car does not start and is currently in the shop awaiting a new compressor.

Rear view mirror shakes while riding.

The car sat for over a year and a half without being driven.

This car will really scoot, and although it doesn't get speed as quickly as the Mustang, once it gets moving it goes smoothly!

Brakes went out

Clutch pulls through the firewall twice

Computer replaced.

I love this car, it has speed, control and is incredibly cute.

Backseat is very small and uncomfortable.

Stock stereo system isn't the best.

All minor wear and tear parts.

CV joints, timing belt, valve cover gasket, and struts.

Dash cracked, had to build new a new one out of fiberglass.

My Storm is amazingly quick.

My only complaint about is how far it is to reach for functions like stereo operation and defroster control.

Seems very comfy for six foot plus driver like me.

A lot of fun to fix up. Many parts from the Civics can be altered to fit the Storm; in addition, the GSI parts fit perfectly, i.e. instrument cluster with extra gauges, and the front bumper cover with fog lights and additional air intakes.

Sound system gets better with every pay check.

The power steering line rusted out after turning under extreme pressure for quite some time.

The new stereo Flickers on and off sometimes due to the wiring system.

I love the handling on this car.

For the price and horse power of the 1.6 model you get so much bang.

I wish I had the 1.8 and help finding modifications.

The interior is out of this world and so is the shape.

Head gasket, struts, and brakes at 90,000.

Brakes at 80,000... goes through mufflers.

It's not my car, but I do all the work on it. All in all it's a nice car, but lacks comfort. It's definitely not a family car.

It does have good take off, and purrs along just fine.

The head gasket replacement was very difficult. I've done lots of head gaskets, and this one was hard, because of lack of space in engine compartment. The rear strut mounts were fun to get to. Had to take out all the rear plastic to access. Parts are on the high side.

The drivers side axle rusted and snapped in half.

The muffler rusted out quickly.

The quarter panels (above rear wheels) rusted out completely.

The passenger side ball joint broke twice.

The Starter died at 112,000 miles.

The alternator died at 112,500 miles.

The radiator blew a hole at 113,000 miles.

The trunk and hood release both broke.

The trunk key hole broke.

The calipers on the front brakes needed replaced at about 116,000 miles.

It had an oil leak that was repaired six times that kept resurfacing.

This was the worst car that I have ever owned.

Do not buy a Geo Storm ever! Especially a GSi.

There is no room in the back seats.

The only good thing about this car was it had pretty good acceleration for a 1.8 liter.
