1992 Geo Metro from North America

Summary:

Good on gas

Faults:

Overall the car has not been that bad. I had to have the clutch cable replaced about two thousand km after I purchased the car. I also had to have the rear wheel bearing replaced. Other than that, most of the other repairs where done on the car before I purchased it.

General Comments:

It's not a bad car, however there are definitely lemon models. I guess the biggest upside is the savings on gas!

1992 Geo Metro Four Door Sedan 4 Banger from North America

Summary:

Reliable and cheap to buy and run

Faults:

Door and light chimes only work sometimes.

Door locks freeze in winter and one is now seized.

Dome light flickers while driving.

Tires are very hard to find as are most replacement parts. It's as if they were never made.

Rust is showing under door and near GEO symbol on the hood.

General Comments:

This is a great car for around town, and my model - 4 cylnder, sedan - is even great on the highway. She shudders at 100-110 kph, but it's smooth sailing after that to 145 kph comfortably.

Cab is fairly comfortable and seat 4 adults for short trips. Rear seats fold down for more cargo space so trunk room hasn't been a problem. Can't fit a deep two drawer legal filing cabinet in the car no matter how you turn it!

What this car give in economy for every day driving, it has taken in inconvieniance and cost for 'hard to find' and 'discontinued' parts.

Never stops working (except on really rainy days.. I think that the problem was fixed).

The doors and windows fell apart before the car dies. Parts are almost impossible to get and are very expensive if you do get them. It dies on occasion when it is very wet outside.

It possibly needs a new master cylinder.

Best car on gas I've ever known though.

Rear window stitching failed.

This is a very cheap car, but Suzuki does a good job for the money. It is more reliable than most cars. I enjoy the go-kart feel of this car.

1992 Geo Metro Hatchback 3 cylinder from North America

Summary:

A dependable and affordable vehicle

Faults:

I had to replace the clutch.

I had to replace the front end tie-rod links at 105,000 miles.

Passenger front inner door handle broke off.

Seats have started to wear badly.

Antenna broke off.

General Comments:

This car is very reliable and shows no sign off quitting even after 105,000 miles.

Other than the repairs listed above I've only needed to have this car regularly serviced and replace the tires when worn.

The plastic interior parts are not very sturdy or attractive, but will last if treated with care.

1992 Geo Metro LSI Convertible 1.0 from North America

Summary:

Reliable and kinda fun

Faults:

1) Rear shocks

2) A/C had to be recharged

3) Rear plastic window cracked

4) Exhaust system comes loose constantly

5) Seats and carpeting are worn more than they should be

General Comments:

Very reliable car. The car is starting to fall apart, but it's 10 years old and it was a cheap car to start with, and I'm sure it's lasted longer than it was supposed to.

I bought this car when my 1991 Metro died, that was a great car, it had 175,000 miles before it decided to go. I've never had any problems with these cars as far as mechanical things, I did however enjoy the 91 hatchback more than the 92 convertible.
