Vehicle report
1993 GEO METRO
This model year
What the record shows
The 1993 Geo Metro is a subcompact car, and the 8th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1986 to 2001.
The EPA rated two configurations: a single 1-litre three-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 33 to 40 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 50 owner complaints and 3 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
