Geo Storm

Back in the 90's, the Geo Storm was sweeping the nation. Isuzu manufactured the little automobile and was sold by General Motors from the year 1990 until 1993. They begin the line so they could sell an affordable vehicle from General Motors. They were introduced so individuals now could have an option to purchase a compact, sporty yet economical vehicle. However, the vehicle was short-lived and was discontinued in 1993. The Geo Storm was a replacement for the Geo Spectrum

The Geo Storm was a down grade of the Isuzu Impulse and left off all the expensive features that the Impulse was stacked with. When sells slowed to a crawl for the Impulse, the car was discontinued and the Geo went with it and both cars seen their demise in 1993. Many individuals who still own a Geo vehicle in present day have mixed feelings about the vehicles reliability. Some say they have never had a problem with the vehicles ability to perform on a regular basis and when the car began to age. Other owners will tell you they have had problems since the day they bought the vehicle or once the vehicle began seeing problems, it has been hard to remedy.

The Geo Storm was most common in the hatchback version. The little car was built to handle and grip the road well, as the front suspension on the vehicle was enhanced using an anti-sway bar build. The introduction of the small vehicle saw reviews that stated the vehicle handled well for such a compact, small and inexpensive car. The years from 1990 until 1993 saw the production of the vehicles changed very little from year to year, but seen small changes from year to year none the less.

Fuel efficiency for the Geo Store is clearly what made the Geo Storm so likable to most, aside from the affordability of the vehicle itself. A 1990 Geo Storm Model was introduced with 25 miles to the gallon in the city, while it served up 31 miles to the gallon on the highway. These babies were fitted with a A3 transmission and had a 1.6 liter V-4 engine. There were six different versions of the Geo Storm during this four year span. The Geo brand has had spin offs such as the Geo Prizm and the Geo Tracker, which both have been produced as an economical try at a compact yet stylish vehicle, but both models fell within the same popularity rut as did their former predecessors.

While it is true that many had their reviews and comments laced with less than ideal intentions, vehicle handling, along with gas efficiency and affordability received the highest praises. Many found that they were drawn to the model of Geo's during the 1992-1993 years. These years offered up the smoothest and most appealing looks of the Geo.
