  What a car! - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By PRizm - July 24 - 2:00 am

  The 1.8 liter engine pumps out a lot of ponies for its size. I was very happy with the way the thing took off. I think that the 3 spped auto is a joke and the 4 speed is the way to go. On previous models, the 3-speed was the only auto and Chevrolet changed it and added fuel economy bu the little overdrive button on the shifter. Great car. It is a shame they are discontinuing the Prizm.

  What a car! - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By tcooper - July 22 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Prizm in 1996, it was a 1995. granted it is not the car to pick up the ladies, but as a dad, it is it the best commuter vehicle I have ever owned! NO LIE! I have 106,000 miles on this car and I can list the items I have repaired, brakes Front and rear, 1 head light, 1 taillight. that is it! I am not the best at performing maintenance, but it does not seem to matter with this car. I drive 25miles to work each way and get 40MPG pretty regularly. after 6 years, I would like to buy another car, but why??? That will be the biggest problem you ever have with the car, it trying to justify getting rid of it.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By sambosky - June 24 - 2:00 am

  I just purchased another Geo Prism last week. I had a 1996 Geo Prism and it went 80,512 miles and I only had to change the oil and purchased a set of tires. There was nothing wrong with the car when I sold it. They just made an offer for the car when combined with the 750.00 dealers rebate and GMs 3,000.00 rebate and my 3,151.00 GM card rebate...well it was just to good to pass up. If the 2002 prism is as good as the 1996....well Ill be a happy camper until 2008 when I wish they were still building them. Sam It was by far the most reliable car Ive ever owned. The

  Reliability and econonmy rules. - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Pitchpine - May 30 - 2:00 am

  As a long time owner of a Toyota Corrola (12 years, 180,000 miles), with amazing reliability (well, theres the alternator...)I wouldnt buy anything else -- except a Corrola clone Prizm. With current rebates (as of late May 2002) of 3K, an AMAZING bargain, for those who just want a good solid, comfortable inexpensive and highly reliable economy car. A great car for those who dont buy a car as an extension of their personality or intimate body parts, but to get places without hassle.

  Great Reliable Car - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By CharlieM - April 27 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new in 99. Mine has a 5 speed manual and I have had no maintenance problems. All I do is change the oil every 3K miles and put in gas. The milage is so good I hardly use much gas. It easily gets over 30 miles to the gallon. On a long highway trip, I get close to 40 mpg.

  02 Prizm Review - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm

  Very reliable and smooth vehicle. Ordered mine with a 5-sp instead of an automatic - small engine seems more "peppy" with the manual tranny. Extremely satisfied with this vehicle.

  Great Car - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By v946916 - March 13 - 4:18 pm

  This is a great, no frills car. I can get upto 40 mpg, the rear ducts keep my kids warm in the winter, cool in the summer. Its been very reliable, had to replace the automatic shift cable and air fan. Low maintenace costs too. And it has good pickup. The car see has 60K miles currently. The car is the easy to park anywheres, great turning ratio.
