  incredible highly underrated car - 1994 Geo Metro
  By sdor - June 23 - 11:53 pm

  I absolutely love my 94 Geo Metro XFi. My grandparents bought it used around 94 I acquired it in 05. After 18 years of life, it might finally be time for me to say goodbye to this car, due to some substantial subframe damage lately. But even now, the only issue with the car is rust the engine, the transmission, etc. are all perfectly fine. After 18 years, and a low 74,000 miles, the only major repairs were replacing the MAP sensor (around 65-70K), replacing the exhaust and muffler, and replacing front CV joints and control arms (this year and last year). This car is amazingly reliable. Ive driven it in every harsh condition, as well as across the country. surprising cargo capacity too.

  GM Goofs again!!!! - 1994 Geo Metro
  By joc C - December 13 - 8:31 pm

  Why did Gm stop making this car???? Best Idea of the eighties. Good reliable transportation. I called the hatchback my mini pick-up. I moved alot in that cargo space. Why couldnt they have improved on its design. It could have broken the 70MPG barrier.

  By Franklin - November 29 - 7:15 pm

  I had this car from 1995.I rebuild wrecked cars for my own use.This is one of those cars with amileage of 20.000 at the time I bougt this car.I repaired the front end wreckage and stored the. Started using the car since the gas price went to $1.80 I think around 1998. I rebuilt the Motor and 5 speed transmission at 120000 Miles.It is 3 years since the motor is rebuilt and right now the Mileage is 176000. Use Mobil one with a K&N reusable air cleaner. I had to get the 3 rd set of tires and I have put 4 14" Mag alloy wheels from a 1990 dodge colt from Canada and 14" tires.Speedometer reads 35 m/hr when it is 37 M/hr. at 60 m/hr it shows 55/hr. One of the bestreliable car I had.Does 53mpg.

  $ for $ best car ever built - 1994 Geo Metro
  By dave - September 22 - 11:29 am

  This was my second car as my previous and first car (a catty cimeron) couldnt handle my type of driving (it blew up). I have driven this car extremely hard, i.e., heavy acceleration, severe weather, and been involved in several minor to medium accidents. This car never broke, always started and drove reliably anywhere I wanted to go. Always got 44+mpg. I got 55 mpg on a long trip. This car did a great job accelerating and cruising on interstate at 75 to 80 mph. My only regret is how poorly I treated this car for 15 years and although mechanically its still great, the body and other things I inflicted on the vehicle are making me think its time to move on. Im sad.

  Bulletproff - 1994 Geo Metro
  By Joe - May 9 - 12:32 pm

  I bought my 3-cylinder, 5-speed new in "94. In 314,000 miles I have replaced the water pump, radiator and starter. Thats it. The motor is as tight as a drum. Mo leaks or burning. I"m still regularly getting around 42 MPG. Its nothing more than an upholstered tin can, but it sure keeps running.

  Love it!!!!!!! - 1994 Geo Metro
  By speedy - April 11 - 1:15 am

  This little geo was handed down to me from my parents who bought it new in 94. this car is very reliable as long as you keep up on the maintenance. Its on it 3rd engine, 1st one the oil drain plug didnt get screwed all the way in and feel out dumping all the oil, 2nd one was a used engine and wasnt good to start with, and now the 3rd is running good and has been for over 60,000 miles. engines are very tough for their weight (you can pick up the whole thing by yourself). and if you want more power just search for swift performance as its really a Suzuki Swift.

  gas prices bad but not with this car - 1994 Geo Metro
  By jimmy - April 8 - 8:06 pm

  This car is a great car if you want to get good gas mileage. Mine is a 3 speed automatic and is very easy to work on. If you dont know much about cars this is a good learning tool. pros: great heater, it heats up fast/ good gas mileage/can go on the freeway and get up to speed fast enough. Cons: makes a lot of noise due to lack of insulation/cheap interior/oil leaks/battery drainage/rust in the crevasses of the car/not a very safe car as far as getting hit by another vehicle.

  A good car - 1994 Geo Metro
  By luckins - March 8 - 6:47 pm

  This was an excellent car that rarely gave me any trouble and was reasonably easy and cheap to repair. The only reason why I traded it in was that it was getting to that age where it needed a lot of maintenance. But for many, many years, it never gave me any trouble whatsoever. The gas mileage was better than some hybrid cars. There were no real issues with this car except that it didnt come with any airbags.

  Best car I ever owned - 1994 Geo Metro
  By Steve Miller - September 24 - 2:28 pm

  This has been the best car I have ever owned. By far the most dependable. She has only let me down once and that was my fault. I bought the car used and after a little over 2 years the battery went dead. I roll started it and replaced the battery. Have never had another except the door handles.

  This Pre Hybrid is Worth It! - 1994 Geo Metro
  By geometrosrok - May 1 - 1:14 pm

  My Metro has been VERY dependable. The 3 speed automatic is peppy enough to be able to pull out in traffic with no worries. Rather easy to work on. Parts are not hard to find. Heater is HOT in the winter and warms quickly. Interior noise level is a little high on the freeway due to lack of insulation / thin metal. Has issues with rusting on the door edges and the lower control arm mounts. Ideal in-town vehicle. Overall, the car is easy to drive, easy to fix, and worth it for the great gas mileage.
