Faults:

Catalytic converter, bad thermostat at 120,000 miles, window handle, one hose broke. Also forgot to close hood and then hood opened on freeway breaking my windshield.

General Comments:

This car should replace the best selling VW bug because it is more reliable, better gas mileage, cheap to fix and more room in the back with seats folding. why spend $20,000 for a hybrid when you can get a $2000 used Geo that gives you average of 45 mpg! This car is not safe in an accident, but I think when your time is up you can die in any car.

Faults:

The only item that had to be change was the convertible top. It was ripped when I bought the car.

Engine is starting to leak oil. The desert is bad on gaskets.

This car is great if you are looking for a reliable, fun, economical car.

I purchased this car, $1150 including tax, so I could make money on an expense account. I worked and internship that required driving to different accounts. I would make around $13/gallon of gas. Good incentive to drive economical car.

I recently decided to buy a lifted Chevy Z71. I returned the truck, loan was not complete, when I filled the tank for a week and that was my normal monthly gas bill in the Geo.

I am now replacing everything that needs to be fixed and keeping the car till it dies.

I beat this car beyond normal were and tear it always gets me were I need to go. Car is pretty good at light rock crawling.

The only bad thing I have to say is that tire manufactures stopped making OEM size tires. I had to install larger diameter tires. The larger tires gave a better ride, but I lost some of the scarce power.

Faults:

Replaced top, engine, taillights, transmission, instrument panel & gave it some seat covers!

General Comments:

A toy to play with, but take an auto mechanics class first.

Faults:

I noticed that the interior of the car started to come apart, and crack.

The doors drop slightly when opened, bad hinges?

The front wheel bearings needed to be replaced shortly after my purchase of the vehicle.

General Comments:

This low priced car is affordable, reliable form of transport, even a tight budget.

I absolutely loved this car, it was like driving a go-kart on the road. The tight turn radius added to the effect. Surprising this little 3-cylinder engine was pretty zippy, due to the cars ultra-light weight design.

The truth holds about this being a super fuel efficient car, I only had to fill up the 10-gallon tank once every 500-550 miles or so (50-55 mpg).

One of the things that surprised me the most is the amount of room inside this car, there was plenty of room to stretch out, even with 4 people. It is a well designed ergonomical, and economical car.

If you have trouble parallel parking, just get out and lift the car into the parking space :) just kidding.

I would recommend this car to anyone!

Faults:

I had to replace struts and shocks at 179,000. Front end would shake violently at any speed over 45mph, even after having tires rebalanced. I replaced front struts and rear shocks at a cost of about $150. Well worth the cost.

This car had a crate engine with about 50,000 on it when I bought it.

Had rear window replaced when purchased at a cost of $200.

General Comments:

This is one of the most fun cars to drive I have ever owned.

I am 6'4' and am surprised how much room there is for such a small car.

Impressively spunky for a 1.0.
