1993 Geo Storm

Best vehicle ever!!!!

By Roseann (NC) on Friday, April 06, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 149,000

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This car is the most dependible car I have ever owned. We bought it in Florida back in 1997 while living in NY. We moved to NC in 2001 and my husband had wanted to sell it before moving. Now that the gas prices are as they are he is very thankful that we kept it. It has been pretty much a maintenance free car (accept for an occasional minor thing) and it accomodates myself, my husband and our adult disabled daughter. Her wheelchair even fits in the trunk. The back seat collapses to turn it into a hatchback. We love it and wish they had not discontinued making this vehicle. It owes us nothing and we have no plans to sell it!!"

Amazing Handling, Good Gas Milage

By Cheez (OK) on Wednesday, December 14, 2011

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Crashed it - My approximate mileage is 215,000

Pros: "Great Handling, Good Gas Milage, Fun, Easy to Park"

Cons: "Small Interior"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"It averaged 31mpg and everyone knows how teenage guys drive . . . It was not the fastest car, it seemed to loose power after 3rd gear, but the handling made up for the lost by far the funnest car I've ever driven. Very small car, easy to park but had small interior, good view of the road. And I walked away from a 65mph roll."

20yrs

By grissins (IL) on Thursday, November 03, 2011

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 282,000

Pros: "great gas mileage, minimal lifelong maint."

Cons: "consumes an exhaust system about every 3 yrs"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I bought my 91 Geo Storm when i was in the Military from the original owner with 14,000 miles on it. we are now up to 282,000 miles and still going. I have purchased three over the years (the other two for parts for a couple hundered bucks). I am still getting an average of 36 mpg which is why we still keep her going. We have to put an exhaust system in it about every 3rd year just from the way the under-carrage channels water and how low it sits. Outside of that the only major work we have ever had done was new fuel injectors around 100,000 mile mark. Original clutch still in and going strong. If I ever see another one in good condition i wouldnt hesitate to buy again."

Best car I've ever owned

By slrivers (Little Rock, AR) on Monday, July 26, 2010

"Drove it of the showroom floor in 1991, have over 130,000 on it. Still runs great, parts are cheap (and seldon needed!), fun to drive, still get at least 30 mpg. Slightly 'stiff" with the low profile tires, and you sit VERY LOW in the car, making it occasionally hard to see around SUV's, Trucks, etc. Timing belt broke while driving, AND NEVER BENT A THING !??! Nice little 16 valve 4cyl with plenty of pep, fun to drive, paint even still looks great after almost 20 yrs. It's even still got the ORIGINAL spark plug wires that came on it! Has THAT for durability? Have driven right on past several 4WD's during snow and ice with no problems. The amount of glass on car makes for a magnifying glass effect when left in sun,...very hot ! Over all, Best car I've ever owned,...all for under $12K incl interest on loan!"
