Thinking of buying the 1990 Geo Storm?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1990 Geo Storm; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Here is the 1990 Geo Storm for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 45 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 26 litres, from its 8.6 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $13.33 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
The Storm in everyday use
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 311 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
If the Storm is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.33 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
