Make Overview:

As the market for import automotive brands became dramatically larger in the late 1980s, the Detroit automobile companies created their own import-style sales divisions. In 1989 General Motors introduced its Geo division, which became the most successful of these attempts before the division was discontinued in 1998.

Geo re-badged various GM cars made for world markets. Its most notable success came with the Geo Prizm, a version of the Toyota Corolla then being built cooperatively in a California assembly plant by Toyota and GM. The Geo Metro compact car began life as the Suzuki Swift, while the Geo Tracker sport-utility vehicle was derived from the Suzuki Sidekick. The Geo Spectrum sedan was an Isuzu I-Mark and the Geo Storm coupe was an Isuzu Impulse.

The experiment ended because the Geo division was unable to establish a stronger identity than the brands from which its products were taken. Moreover, GM quickly realized that Geo was simply funneling its brand loyalists into the import brands of other companies.

  • I miss you, Prizm!!! - 1997 Geo Prizm
    By -

    This car is, quite simply, a great buy. It is reliable, one of the most stylish compact cars ever, and fun. It doesnt feel at all like an economy priced vehicle. I strongly recommend the LSI with 1.8L engine over the smaller, 1.6L version. I miss my Prizm very much.

  • I love my Geo! - 1993 Geo Prizm

    This is flat out a great car. Im a graduate student, and consequently I dont have a lot of money to spend on car repairs. My Geo was relatively trouble free and completely reliable. Only repair was a damaged coil at about 102,000. Unfortunately an idiot sixteen year-old girl plowed into my Geo Prizm the other day, so now Im looking for a new Prizm. But if you want a nice car and dont have a lot of money to spend, definitely go with the Prizm LSi.

    Found this on autotrader.com. Ive wanted a Tracker since I was 3 years old, finally got it. I drive it all the time, and I get a lot of compliments on it. Real nice looking, black with black soft top. Theres so many mods I can do to it :D I only wish it was a 5 speed and not an automatic.

    The Geo Metro is a great car and has provided me with great service for many years. I havent had any probelms with it only the air conditionr switch when i first bought it. I took it back to the dealer at least 3 times before the probems was corrected. About 2 years ago I paid the delaerto fix it agin and now the air is out again. About 2 1/2 months ago I took to the delaer to have my front lights on the driver side fixed. Switch was out completely, okthe than those minor problems I like my car a lot.

  • An Excellent Commute Car - 1996 Geo Metro
    By -

    I bought it as a commute car after the first day of my new Job which was 35 miles away. I drove my Mercedez ML320 to work and I was shocked when I saw the wear and tear and gas bill. I went and bought this car for mere $2500. It was manual with 57000 miles on it. But since then I drove 25000 miles in just 2 years and I didnt have to take it to any repair shop except the oil change. It is a Great car for commute consistently giving me 42-48 miles per gallon. It has already saved me more than $2500 on my ML320 Gas and $$$ of wear and tear.

  • These cars rock! - 1993 Geo Metro
    By -

    Ive put over 200,000 miles on my baby and she starts up everytime. Keep her fluids changed regularly and she keeps purrin like little kitten. Never had any problems in the 10 years Ive owned. Had to have the alternator replaced once, thats it. With gas averaging 2.15 a gallon now in SD,CA, Im saving hundreds just on that. Parking and manuvering in this thing is a sinch. Awesome commuting vehicle. If you have the means, I highly recommend purchasing one.
