General Comments:

I paid $150 for the car, so I did not expect much. But to my surprise, it ran great and I average 43 miles per gallon, with a high of 55 miles per gallon on the open road.

After driving the car about seven years, I wanted to make changes to it, to make it look different. I WENT WITH THE RATROD, GASSER LOOK. GO TO (geometroforum.com) Go to pictures and check out the 89 Geo Gasser, and tell me what you think.

I love my car, it is a lot for the money.

Faults:

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.

General Comments:

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.

Faults:

The coil is out in this car when I picked it up for free so haven't had a chance to drive it yet.

General Comments:

For a 1989 the body looks good. the seats are a bit warn, but still in decent shape for a 1989.

Faults:

It has it's little tune up things, but so far it has been a good car, and easy to fix!

General Comments:

You none believer's of the turbo 1.3, pick up a chilton manuel sometime, its in there!!!

Faults:

Seats are wearing badly (they are very old), linkage between transmission & shifter has worn, but has been replaced.

General Comments:

This is the only car that has ever lived up to 50+ MPG without being a hybrid! It has never burned oil nor has it run too rich. The plugs wear out and never foul. It has been a "regular use" car and is now our "emergency back-up" because we know it will run when we need it!!

Faults:

Driver side front bearings.

Water pump.

Timing chain.

Heater core.

Seats are very worn; replaced.

Shocks and struts are very worn.

General Comments:

Bought this car 4 years ago for $750 and put 82,000 miles on it. Last 3 months, I put 5,100 miles on it. Always gets 44 - 47 miles per gallon. It is absolutely FUN to drive; it's quick and nimble, except over 70mph, or going up a mountain, then it's a little slow.

Very comfortable seating for a car this size. I'm 5-10 at 235 pounds.

Just bought a '91 model LSI and a '94 model 4-door. These little cars are just too good not to have around!!
