The 1990 Geo Storm: before you buy

Before you sign for the Storm

Under the hood
The 1.6L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
By the EPA's combined rating of 8.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 26 litres. A 300 km weekend costs about $39.99 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Size and space
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 311 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Storm tells you more than any review.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$2,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.33 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $133.30 at our price setting.
