  You get what you buy - 1994 Geo Metro
  By danny - April 3 - 4:09 pm

  It is what it is and that is a gas saver. It is good for a starter car or to work and back.

  Bring Back the Metro - 1996 Geo Metro
  By Metroman - January 14 - 4:21 pm

  I purchased this little jewel with 90000 on the odometer. It runs great and gets great gas mileage. It is low priced and long lasting. With the high cost of fuel nowadays, the Suzuki Corp and GM should rejoin forces to produce such a wonderful little car. The Car is approaching 115,000 miles a running strong, not bad for $1,500.00 investment.

  13 Year Love Affair - 1992 Geo Metro
  By Stan_Topdown - October 20 - 1:23 am

  OK, so it takes more than 20 seconds from 0 to 60. Big deal. Find me another top-down car that gets 33 - 35 mpg in town 40 mpg on the road (no wind 70mph). 13 years - 80,000 miles only actual repair - speed sensor in speedometer went out at 32K. Rest is maintenance. Out today 50 mile round trip - bright sun, mid 70s, 25 mph sw wind - sometimes headwind - sometimes tailwind. Great fun both ways. Handles fine on ice & snow - its just a shame none of the current < $20K fwd coupes dont come as convertibles. Like many other stick shifts Ive driven, when youre close enough to floor the clutch w left foot, your right foot is too far forward to use the throttle comfortably.

  getting 50-MPG & then some - 1996 Geo Metro
  By dp - October 11 - 3:46 pm

  Owned for < 1mth, been highly reliable, incredible mileage ranging from 44.3- 50.2 combined driving. A little noisy around town, surprisingly quiet on hwys. The 5 spd trans is smooth, however the dash mounted shift-light is annoying. The built-in headrests are uncomfortable & theres no lumbar support. Could use armrests. Plenty headroom for big hair or tall hat. Lots of rear cargo storage with seat down, (I removed bottom part of seat for a flat-fold). This 4cyl LSI came w/o AC & radio - miss them both. In summary, a great commuter car, reliable, with current MPG & gas at $3/gal it should pay for itself in about 6 mths.

  Definitely "NOT" a Throw-Away-Car. - 1994 Geo Metro
  By Dave - September 6 - 7:27 pm

  I had owned a Geo Metro for almost ten years, and it was the most reliable and fuel efficient car that Ive ever own. Its definitely not a sports car, but thats not why you would buy one. In spite of their lack of acceleration, its their gas mileage which more than redeems them. With regards to freeway driving, the Geo Metro does more that just keep up with traffic. Ill put it to you like this,"A Geo Metro can do 95 miles per hour... it doesnt like to, but it can do it". Speeds between 65 mph and 90 mph are quite manageable for this car. Additionally, their little 1.0 liter engines are remarkably tough.

  Not comfortable but can drive for days.. - 1995 Geo Metro
  By Larry - September 2 - 12:43 am

  Not the most comfortable car in the world the interior of the car is cheaply made which is very clear, over all for the price great car is good. Purchased the car when my wife and I got married in 1995 all we could afford at the time now we are selling it 10 years down the road with nearly 150,000 miles and not one single mechanical problem, regular oil changes and check ups has kept this car in top condition. Was never a big fan of the car but loved the gas mileage, I almost hate to see it go, it is being replaced with a 2005 Chevy Avalanche and the gas is certainly not the same.

  My Geos Eulogy - 1997 Geo Metro
  By Debradley - August 28 - 12:47 pm

  Well, after 112,000 mile a bad oil leak repair finally killed her, but what a great, cheap car. Up until the last gasp, this car never broke down--I did replace an axel & had some brake work done, but for the first four years nothing but oil changes. I bought this car used with about 40000 miles on it. It was awesome on gas and you could fit a ton of stuff in the hatchback. Im replacing her with a 2004 Hyundai accent sedan, which is safer, but Ill miss my metro. It was an automatic transmission, and Ive never had to repair it. If you are on a budget and can find a clean one with > 80k miles, I say go for it.

  By ranger - August 17 - 12:06 am

  Great all around savings -- gas millage, cheaper tires, easy on brakes, no expensive frills that we really do not need. Shifts smooth, Air can freeze you.. Radio decent..Great first car or for the experience driver that wants to save at the pump.

  45 to 50 mpg - 1993 Geo Metro
  By 45 to 50 mpg - August 8 - 4:20 am

  I own a 93 standard geo metro hatchback with the 5 speed, I was hoping it would do a little better on fuel economy as compared to the xfi which I was told used a different computer, I have no idea what the differences are on the 2 cars. If you own a geo, be sure to have the catalytic convertor changed out as these over a period of time will cause burned valves. The motor is easy to work on, starter is a little hard to get to. When replacing the head Ive found it to be much easier to bolt the intake on first then bolt the head to the motor then bolt the exhuast up next. Ive managed 45 to 50 mpg by coasting to a stop sign or red light along with keeping the speed limit to 60 mph. Good cars.
