Faults:

I think the only things that have gone wrong with this car are average things that just happen - brakes, altenator etc...

General Comments:

I have found this car to be very reliable, the only thing that really bothers me is the fact that the seatbelt wraps around the seat back adjuster and can cause the seat to recline back while driving. I've about caused several wrecks because of this.

This car has NEVER failed to start for me in all these years. Unfortunatley I'm sure that I will have to replace the car soon as I feel it is losing power. It still goes pretty good, but with the cars today it just can't keep up.

Faults:

Altenator caught fire.

A/C was broke when I got it - took the shop three months to get the part to fix it (summer was over).

Runs hot during hot weather seasons.

Grinding noise in the front even after replacing all brakes on the car.

Carb is a piece of JUNK, always missing and backfiring.

General Comments:

This car is WAY to slow to even be on the road. I've been almost hit several times thanks to this car's lack of power. You have to shift constantly to keep up with traffic, I mean keep the pedal to the FLOOR! NO POWER AT ALL WITH THE A/C ON, car will NOT pick up any speed, you will just have to rev up, that's it.

I must say that this car is very reliable and very good on gas - I average about 50mpg.

It's got high mileage and it doesn't use any oil whatsoever.

Faults:

Replaced the front brakes several times and I've recently put in a new clutch, not because the old one was ready to go, it's just that I had the money so I figured I might as well.

Besides that, nothing really has went wrong with the car, I think that the alternator might be getting ready to go but I'm not sure.

I bought this car in 1990 after getting rid of my 1988 Ford Festiva which by the way is the biggest piece of JUNK ever made, I had that car only a few years and had the most problems with the engine and electricals that I've ever had with any car.

This Sprint has far outdone the Festiva, I know a neighbor of mine has a 1992 Festiva and it's only got about 88,000 miles and the engine sounds like a tractor or something and my little 3 cylinder with 174K just keeps on putting along with the 40mpg that I get even more on the highway.

Another thing you wouldn't believe is the ease this thing has on the interstate, you can go 75 or 80 and you can't even hear the little engine. This is by far the best little car I've ever owned.

Faults:

A/C is broken, compressor is out. Carb is starting to get weird acting choking alot. Motor mounts are worn out. First spark plug continues to get fowled out every few weeks. Radiator is plugged up causing the car to run hot. Had to straight wire the cooling fan because the switch went out. Car backfires real bad in the first 5 mins that you are on the road.

General Comments:

I bought this car because I was told it was an older Geo Metro which I can say that it is, an older one though. This is a very dependable car, it's just very very slow and parts are almost impossible to find anymore for anything to do with this car. Gas saver.

Faults:

Nothing.

This car has 165,000 miles and I've never done anything to it except the required maintenance. No knocks in the engine. Even the clutch is still good. Never uses any oil. Best car I ever owned! Gets 45mpg+!
