1997 Geo Metro consumer reviews

my radiator blew up and cost almost as much as the car but the car is good for drifting and having fun and has lots of horsepower after you put a little performance

Build quality sucks. Anyone giving this car a good review must be poor and without having hope of moving up in life. Terrible vehicles as bad as if not worse than a YUGO.

I bought this car in 1994 ,5spd,a/c, deluxe radio .met green,for I think it was $9,482 out the door and it was the most dependable car I have ever owned and it was a joy to own from 94-2017 I drove everywhere with this car ,snow,rain,mud,long distance and just about anywhere you can drive. Never a problem in the 200k miles ,I only replaced a clutch cable ,a set of Front brake pads,a Battery,and in those miles only 2 sets of tires and everything worked as it did new ,auto locks etc and a/c would blow you out and so would the heat too .Great snow car never needed chains and went more places thank my truck could .I was sad to see it go ,at 200 k the water pump went and it went to the repair shop for water pump and timing belt and it was accidentally totaled and now I am looking for another

This car is perfect for a high school car. It can carry books, supplies and even computers, nice ride, FUEL ECONOMY IS AWESOME! Dont have to spend tons of bucks on gas, and it is cheap, good for a student

97 Geo Metro has been the most amazing vehicle I've ever owned. I own a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 QC SB 4X4 built and I actually prefer driving the lil metro most times and not just for the fuel! Easy to maintain and cheap to repair. Fun to drive, easy to park. Most importantly, the tires should be the first thing to change when you can. 185/70/13 fits beautifully and increase MPG, drivability, comfort and can be found much easier. When making this switch try and find aluminum wheels also.

The '97 Metro LSI that I just recently bought from a dealer on Cars.com is an excellent buy. The small 4 cylinder engine is not a powerful sports car engine, but where it lacks in pickup it rewards with outstanding gas mileage. Easy to park and maneuver around town. The more gas prices go up, the more I save!

For the money, this little eco. car is by far the most reliable car on the market (at the time).. I own two vehicles made by suzuki, a chev. sprint, and a geo metro.. I have currently 335000 miles on my Geo metro,1997, and its still going strong.. A/C is still blowing like an Alaskan winter (with only occasional recharges) I have relpaced the transmission once, and the clutch twice (normal maintanince) the gas milage is great, and the car is quiet as can be.. if you have the oppertunity to by one of this out of production vehicles used, grabe it.. clean it up and do your normal maintance, drive it with confidence.. The engine in this vehicle is a 1.0 Litter, has never been worked on, never been opened up, never had a single issue... Still no leaks, and oh yes, I've replaced the water pump, and timming belt. When replacing the timming belt, it after over 160000 miles still looked good...

this car has been the best car we have ever had. We replaced the engine at 140000 miles due to bad matinee. We got the car back in 2001 and it's still running. Just watch out for the bottom rusting out. This car was gms best little car. Long live the geo metro lsi

I bought my Geo Metro new, and have 240,000 on it and have had only a starter replacement at 65,000 mi., struts at 100,000 mi. with lifetime replacement's. My car still does not require any addition of oil in every 3,000 mi oil change. I average 38 to 46 MPG all the time. Why isn't this automobile, (3 cyl.) still made? It doesn't make sense. It is a perfect car that will cruise at 75 MPH all day and will do 100MPH if needed or could probably cruise all day at 100MPH if conditions were allowed. I will never sell my Geo Metro, although I have a new Nissan Altima 3.5 that I use sometimes.

I bought this car used, with a salvaged title years ago. Drove it for 5 years. My son and his friends always called it the clown car. I gave the car to my son for his first car and at first he didn't want his friends to see him driving it until his friends seen what the gas mileage was like on it. Then they all changed there tunes. My son would take it and all his friends in it up on Hummer tour trails around Moab, Ut. It is amazing how many High School boys you can fit in one of these and still make it up the trails around here. My son drove it all threw High School and then finaly sold it and he has kicked himself ever sence. I see it around town ever now and then and just smile! It has given us great memories. If you are looking for a great car this is it! And even thow they are a little plain, they can be fixed up to look pretty cool! Have you ever seen spinners on a Geo? Pretty cool looking with the right paint job!
