Synthetics, Synthetics, I started using synthetic oil at 112000 miles, after oil changes every 3000 miles using Castrol GTX oil. All oil filters and synthetic oil have been the Wallmart cheapo brands because they are only on my car for 3000 miles. Air filter changed at 15000 mile enterval, gas filter every 40000 along with gas treatment every 10000miles, plugs every 18000, wires every 40000 with distributor cap/rotor.Belts every 70000, timing belt/ gaskets every 80000 Struts every 100000 miles.Brakes lasted 130000 miles up front and 165000 miles in the rear. The only repairs have been an oil pan gasket, muffler and altenator, all done after 200000 miles.
Was given as a gift, but like riding a moped
I got this car from my mom who no longer wants the hassle of driving stick and licensing and insuring it. It was a free car, but it had been in my family since 95. Minimal maintenance, a little surface rust from winter driving and sitting for over a year and a half in a back garage. Did an oil and oil/air filter change and she fired right up. Took a little for the brakes to scrape off the rust from the rotors, but she ran like a champ. Put Techron in and refilled the tank to clean the fuel delivery systems. It's bright yellow and has those 90's wave graphics on the side in purple in grey, so it's not the manliest car, and I'd almost say I'm embarrased to be seen in it, but it's a great throwback and a nice insurance policy if gas goes back to 4$ a gallon, and a unique a spare car and a convertible on sunny days, so I don't care. Pick up is actually better than you would think, but the car weighs a 1/3 of my 2013 G37 coupe. You really understand the advancements cars have made over the years and how spoiled we've become, but also how much fun the simple things can be. Next sunny day, I will be driving her around.

Geo and go
1991 geo's are great cars for the money, problem is not many left. Repairs are some what biased on how well they have been matained over the long haul. Engines can be gotten and ac is not worth haveing in a convertible, alternators need replacement on average 15 to 18 years apart otherwise few repairs. Can still do 80 mph on a highway, and gas milage on my two geo metro lsi convertables are around 30 city and 36 highway. Can be better with a manual trans but mine are both automatics. Holds 7 gallons of gas gets aprox 350 miles, and has the most leg room of any auto that i have ever been in seats 2 and has trunk enough to carry 6 cubic ft of stuff. I.e. 2 sets of clubs 2 push carts and sundries to go along. A bit noisy because is a convertable doesn't have a hood blanket to silence the engine. Came in a mirie of colors but mine are yellow.

Beater... That'll run forever!
The roof , if it is a convertible is very touching, and make sure that you have a good roof or new roof... As is very hard to build one yourself, I tried did not work and I'm now ordering one off of eBay for $200. I know a few years back they gave this vehicle a MGP test and picking it up against the first Civic electric car and they both tied at 42 miles per gallon! I can put $10 in this vehicle and drive from Miami to Georgia and probably halfway back... I love this little girl I can't wait to get my new roof!

My Geo
Excellent mileage and comfort. Everyone yells "cute car" as I go buy so it always feels very good to be driving this car. I've owned it since it was new.
