"Outstanding bargain for how it keeps going"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioner quit at 35,000, and had to replace compressor.

Problem keeping alternator belt tight to prevent squealing.

Normal wear and replacement of brake pads, city driving causes faster wear-out of pads.

Driver window roller problem.

General comments?

Car has no serious mechanical problems.

Excellent car for running around town.

Daughter now drives and it is a great first car. I plan on keeping until it falls apart.

I have a 1994 Geo Metro that had the same problem with alternator belts squealing and eventually breaking after replacing the alternator (that I probably didn't need) and about 6 or 7 new belts, a family friend who has a garage took a look at it and the alternator wasn't properly lined up, I guess the bottom bolts needed to be tightened first and then the top, hope this helps anyone with the same type of problem, otherwise this car is a great little car and with the price of gas these days, it's even better.
