The little Putt - putt

I bought my first Geo from a friend and fell in love, now 7 years and almost 300,000 miles later it has finally started dying on me. But I love my little putt-putt so much I managed to find another one identical to her with only 100,000 miles on it. These are great little cars and I hate that they are no longer made. Geo had a great product, maybe that's why chevy bought them cause they were scared? (97 Geo Metro 4dr Sedan 1.3 L 4 cyl) and yes they made 4 cyl in 97 contrary to some car parts places.

Long Hauler

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.

Geo Metro 97 4 door manual

Heater Fan switch falls apart, just strap tie or tie it back together. Scuff front brake rotors before installing new pads. Metallic factory pads were hard on them. Limited tire availability, Kumho are fine. Glue on another headliner fabric, use high temp. 3M. Use high mileage oil and add seal swell in trans.! Oil leaking onto clutch calls for expensive clutch job and seal swell, your choice, seal swell before or after! Shift it floor it but don't slam bang trans. It will break. Slow cars are better to drive fast than fast cars slow. Exterior mirrors may break off. Can glue in another stud and remount using longer screws and a nut on the new stud. Has hydraulic lifters so no valve adjustment is a big bonus. I don't think about the timing belt at all, probably because it has a chain. Another bonus if so! Window regulators are a bit wonky so best to leave them up. The best pile if cheap junk I ever bought, used, low miles. A winner! Beats Pinto, Vega, Chevette,Yugo, and bug!
