Used 1994 Geo Metro Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Great Little Beater
Great all around savings -- gas millage, cheaper tires, easy on brakes, no expensive frills that we really do not need. Shifts smooth, Air can freeze you.. Radio decent..Great first car or for the experience driver that wants to save at the pump.
Swears by my Geo Metro
Bought this vehivle at the time because I couldn't afford anything more. It turned out to be the best investment I ever made. I have owned it ten years and my record keeping allows me to calculate that it cost me less than 5 cents per mile to operate. Even in its old age it still gets almost 30 miles per gallon. At 158000 miles it is fianlly beginning to use some oil (NOT leakage). Beware, it eats tires - it has apoor ability to maintain alignment. Other than that, it has been a charm. I am finally donating it to a charity - and its still running.
Driving to Paradise
I 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.
Who needs hybrid? - 60mpg, 250k miles
Owned it since day-one. It started out ONLY getting 50 mpg, but as the engine broke in, it went up to 60-62 and has held there to this day. 250k miles. No smoke. Change oil every 5k, brakepads every 75k, belts at 100k. It has always started and gotten me to anywhere. Drive from Washington DC to Miami for 20 gallons of gas at 75mph. Lived on a mountain, no need for chains. It LOVES snow. Better in snow than my 4x4. Who needs a hybrid - build these again!
Better car than any Hybrid ever made
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 best;reliable car I had.Does 53mpg.
