NIGHTMARE.
I had a 3 cylinder 94 Geo Metro for about 6 months. It was the scariest piece
of crap I have ever driven OR ridden in. I was commuting about 200-300 miles a
day back in '95 and the only good thing I can say about it is it got great fuel
mileage, even when flogging it hard - I averaged about 45mpg.
It had 12 inch tires that were not much bigger than the one's on my HF trailer.
It would lean ~5degrees when driving across windy bridges and sometimes I would
fight against the wind so hard that once the x-winds would slow down I would
have trouble staying in my lane - no joke.
The suspension and brakes were SO bad that I nose-dived under hard braking and
I could not slow down enough and actually drove UNDER a volvo that stopped at
the last minute to take a right turn (going down hill in SF). I was amazed how
crappy the brakes were. I actually laughed when I hit the volvo - there was no
damage to the front bumper, but upon contact the hood crumpled up about a foot
in the air. I pushed it back into semi-shape and the hood latch/release still
worked, SWEET. No damage to the Volvo, not even a scuff on her painted bumper.
