  a pretty good small car - 1997 Geo Metro
  By ncdamsel - March 12 - 2:00 am

  the seats in this car killed my back, but other than that it was cheap to keep . so that is allways a good thing cheap tires, low payment, the only complaint was not comfortable to drive on long trips,

  Long Hauler - 1997 Geo Metro
  By Kent Bellman - January 26 - 2:00 am

  This is the 3rd Geo I have had. I enjoy the excellent gas mileage and the peace of mind that I get when I start it up every day. I know it will always start for me and perform. I bought it used, to help off set the gas consumption of my 99 Silverado. It is easy to tune and oil change. I would recommend it to anyone needing a 2nd dependable car. The after market parts are very expensive.

  Economic - Not Exquisite - 1997 Geo Metro
  By Little Bandita - August 26 - 2:00 am

  In terms of achieving my goal, this car has more than met it. I wanted an interim, inexpensive, small, dependable car I could load my keyboard & amp in & out of with relative ease. For 5 years it’s consistently done the job. Tires, hubcaps, & rear axle have been replaced. After the first year (󈨦) I had no air conditioning because the frion ran out. But the heater works great & the gas hikes haven’t phased me- -I’m still paying less per month than I do for cable TV. It’s a great little car with surprisingly good pick-up, no slowing on hills, easy on the turns, but tough to park without power steering.

  Good A to B and B to A car - 1997 Geo Metro
  By P. Setlur - August 10 - 2:00 am

  For a 3 cylinder car, it is pretty decent. I want to know when the spark plugs have to be changed. I have about 70,000 clicks on it. Does this car use platinum plugs? I bought this secondhand at about 35,000 km.. I recently changed the air filter on it. Id appreicate any input from similar owners on its upkeep. There is no a/c on mine. I am having a problem with the heating switch that I have to wiggle to make it operate at low speed. I live in Toronto and I need the heat in winter.

  Great Little Car - 1997 Geo Metro
  By Brian Petty - May 11 - 2:00 am

  Bought the car used in 1999 for $6900 with 36000 miles. I cant seem to get the max fuel economy out of it (even after tune up). It has never had any major mech problems.

  Economical and dependable - 1997 Geo Metro
  By Benbrilling - April 9 - 2:00 am

  In the 2 years Ive owned my Geo I have had no problems beyond worn out wiper blades. It runs smoothly and I the auto-transmission gearing is just right to pull out ahead of the crowd at the stoplights. It accelerates smoothly and quickly on the uphill to over 65 MPH on the freeway. My overall MPG was good before at 32, and now even better since a tuneup.

  Go Geo Girl! - 1997 Geo Metro
  By used_car_grl - March 7 - 3:54 pm

  I have had in the past ten years 8 cars. I have had fords,dodge, chevrolets, saab,volkswagon,etc.I was looking for a cheap dependable car to get me too and from college and work and around town. I have taken at least 5 or more trips in it so far with mile ranges of 200 to 1000 miles a weekend. The car gets excellent gas mileage, and I have had no problems exept for normal wear and tear ie:new tires.
