Why did they discontinue this car? - 1994 Geo Metro
By willard5 - February 17 - 12:34 amI bought it used in 1998 with around 65,000 miles on it. Traded it off in 2006 with 200,000 miles. In all that time, I think I replaced an alternator and had a tune up. Period. Great car. Worth twice the price. And the darned thing got 52 mpg on the highway! I live in Denver and I took several road trips to Las Vegas in that car that cost all of about $60.00 in fuel (at the time). This car spoiled me for other cars. Every car Ive had since then has been a lemon in my eyes because they need repairs occasionally, and need to be re-fueled now and then.

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

no good deed goes unpunished - 1994 Geo Metro
By yuba4 - March 14 - 1:13 pm94 2-door hatchback, bought new. Used for commuting from 94-96. Excellent commuter car (after stereo upgrade). Averaged 45 mpg. From 0-5 mph, as fast as anything! Then the flywheel momentum was conferred. I actually loved this car, but unfortunately its not for a young single man. People just dont want to understand why someone would drive this. It was a good car, but nearly impossible to sell during the boom years of the mid-90s. Later drove a 96 for another two years - same comments

"MAX" 60+ MPG No Joke!! - 1994 Geo Metro
By Tony - March 26 - 1:33 amI purchased this Canadian built Geo, in Sept 1994. I has served my family well! in fact, we bought two other cars trying to retire "Max"(as the kids call it) and they are no longer on the road. The reliability of this car has been phenomenal! It has taken its share of lickings and keeps on ticking along. regular oil changes, timing belt replacement every 65,000 miles (just because) alternator replaced at 100k!, Valve job @155k (California mandated) and just discovered I need to replace cv joints at 168k! Can you believe it? Its true!! The best part is yet to come, 65 mpg when the vehicle was new! After moving to California, the mileage dropped to 49-50 mpg!

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

Driving to Paradise - 1994 Geo Metro
By Scott K. - August 12 - 8:19 amI love these cars. I love these cars so much that I bought one for my wife to drive and I trust it to take her anywhere she wants to go and safely return her home. My wife drives a 1991 and mine is a 1994. No matter where we go or what we are doing, these cars have been by our side. The world seems to go away when driving through the countryside in my Metro. Find one (or two) for yourself and someone you love. The Metro will love you back.

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