5.0 out of 5 stars
Intricate and detailed,
By Dan Stevans (Blacksburg, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GM Metro/Sprint 1985-93 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manual) (Paperback)
This repair manual is the best for the Geo Metro series. It explains many aspects of the vehicle that the Haynes manual only briefly covers or ignores completely. It goes through diagnostics explanations clearly, provides every aspect of electrical maps, and has dozens of helpful illustrations and photographs. If you want information on Ameicas top fuel-saving car, this book covers it all.

Got the book, its about useless,

This review is from: GM Metro/Sprint 1985-93 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manual) (Paperback)
There is little troubleshooting help here. If you need a walk through on a tune up, this will show you how. If you want to go beyond that, go somewhere else. Try looking up an ignition problem (personal experience). Or replacing fusable links. It mentions that they exist, but not much beyond that. And the index is nothing less then a poorly organized, frustrating mess. At best, this makes for a particularly ugly coffee table book.

Does not cover Sprint Turbo,

This review is from: GM Metro/Sprint 1985-93 (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manual) (Paperback)
Chilton manuals have gotten a lot better in the last few years. The earlier trade-paperback-size books with the predominantly white covers always seemed to me to try to cover too many cars in one volume, resulting in not enough specific info on any one model; photos were few and far between, with the occasional unclear line drawing instead. But the newer, 9x12-format books with the black edge around the cover are much better. There are lots of photos instead of line drawings, and excellent electrical diagrams. Also, though the books still cover more than one model, clear distinctions are made between procedures that are different for different models. (Here, for example, the early Chevy Sprint is really quite a different car from the later Geo Metro; for one thing, the rear suspension is a dead axle with Panhard rod on the earlier car, but is fully independent on the later car---but the manual treats each separately in depth.)
However, note that this book is a bit biased towards the later cars (badged Geo Metro and Suzuki Swift in the USA), and, in particular, has little or no coverage of the '87-'88 Chevy Sprint Turbo---unfortunate since that car is kind of a cult item, has some significant differences from the non-turbo car of the same year (multipoint fuel injection instead of carbs, for one thing!), and the factory service manual supplement that covered it is NLA from GM or Suzuki.
