1990 Geo Storm GSi from North America - Comments

"Speedy little mouse of a car with above average reliability"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Weld broke in the exhaust manifold (that was probably my fault, it shouldn't have done that).

Passenger side seat belt buckle broke off; no clue how that one happened.

Doors wouldn't close when it gets cold out... the latch in the door froze a bit.. it will close if you warm up the car a bit.

General comments?

This car has definitely been worth buying. I've only had to take it into the shop a few times over the past few years I've had it.

I'm a mediocre short person so I had no problem with the space (I'm never sitting in the back but my friends tell me it's quite cramped *grin*); so if you're a tall person this car is probably not for you.

Top speed I've gotten it to is 102mph and I probably could've gotten it up faster if I had a longer stretch of road to drive it on.

I'm surprised that you only got your storm up to 104 mph. mine when I had it easily reved out at estimated 145+mph. I loved that car. Wish they still built it today. I'd buy it again!

A Geo Storm that easily revved out to an estimated +145 mph?! Come on! You're only kidding yourself, but you're not fooling us. That's why "estimated" is different from "actual".

Let me guess: if you were doing 70 mph at 4,000 rpm's, then you figure it should do 140 mph if you redline it out at 8,000 rpm's. If only it worked that way.

Honestly, I own a 90 Geo Storm and I have rode smoothly on the highway at 115 mph. the car is great and if you can get you hands on one, I would be a great investment. Although I would not recommend it for teenagers because that's how old I was when I got mine and drove way too fast for my own good (or any one else).
