1993 Geo Metro

Pros: Better mileage than most hybrids!

Cons: Not the thing to impress your girlfriend with

The Bottom Line: Basic car, great price, reliable and easy at the pump. Why can't we get cars like this ten years later?

Review: I owned my Metro from 1998 to 2003, until I had to leave it behind and fly to my next job. Because of the great experience I had with it, I'm trying to get another for my next car in 2005. Metros are tiny and I wouldn't recommend actually putting ...

Pros: Gas Mileage, Gas Mileage, and Gas Mileage.

Cons: As with motorcycles, don't get hit. Noisy. I can live with it.

The Bottom Line: Value. Superior gas mileage. Simple. Gets you there for a fraction of the cost of other vehicles.

Review: I rescue Basset Hounds in Appalachia. The average haul (home-shelter-vet clinic-home) is about 600mi. My geriatric 86 Volvo 4banger got about 22mpg on the road, and when gas spiked over the $3 mark, those little Metros were looking attractive. Alas, ...

Pros: reliable, inexpensive, great mileage

Cons: Well what do you want from a small car?

Review: First of all, if you are like a lot of people I know who just hate small cars, go buy something else! If you want something to get you to work, this is a good choice. I read another review where someone complained about not being able to go over 85. I've...

Pros: 44 miles to the gallon, great insurance, durable & reliable

Cons: not good for long trips on comfort(seats)

Review: I love MY GEO!!! I bought this car outta desperation after my divorce. I had $2000 and that was it to find a reliable, gas efficient, affordable car. Well I went looking and told the clerk to pleaseeeee have something that my money would cover that was...

Pros: Good on gas, reliable.

Cons: Uncomfortable seating, kind of cramped with more than 1 person.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car for someone who is short on cash and wants a car that will get them from point A to B with no trouble.

Review: My husband and I bought our Geo 2 years ago and are now just selling it because we need more room wi ...

Pros: MPG!!! Easy to work on. Room for my long legs. Dependable economic transportation.

Cons: Can't find 12in tires anywhere. About as safe as skateboard. Needs cupholders. Not a convertible.

The Bottom Line: Great car. I would buy two more at the price I paid. Great commuter car.

Review: I bought this Geo to commute to work just before gas prices started to rise. Timing was great on my part. I bought it knowing it had a CV joint that needed replacement and the previous owner kept the radio. I spent $50 on the CV/Drive shaft and $50 for a ...

Pros: Very Reliable, Cheap on Gas, Inexpensive to Repair, Love my little car!

Cons: Seats are a bit uncomfortable on long drives, hope to hell no one hit's you!!!

Review: I bought my Geo Metro off the lot in 1992. My husband who is not a mechanic has done all the work on it and found it easy to work on. The only repairs we have done were oil changes every 3 months or so, plugs etc, replaced the battery, the hood ...

Pros: Gas mileage, durability

Cons: Painful seat, easy crumples in accident

Review: Back in March of 1993, when I was a poor commuting college student, I purchased the absolute base model Metro, new, for only $6250. In the first couple months, I did have some trouble with a couple of switches: in the door and on the domelight... the...

Pros: Gas mileage, low costs

Cons: No safety features

Review: My husband and I purchased this car new from the dealer in 1993 and gave it to my brother in 1998 when my husband got a company car. At 120,000 miles, it still ran like it did when we first bought it. Highway mileage was still at 45-50 mpg and city at...

Pros: Gas mileage, runs forever

Cons: Small, cramped seats

The Bottom Line: If you can get one of these little bombers that was well cared for at a fair price and are looking for a good commuter vehicle, buy it!

Review: I purchased this car used in December of 1999 as the third owner. At the time I was driving a large Mercury Grand Marquis and was looking to sell it and buy something more gas economical. I found the car for sale in some local on-line classified ads. The...
