  Why did they (GM) quit making this car - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By sambosky - February 16 - 2:00 am

  It might be plain on the outside but hey it is so reliable. The last one lasted six years and I only did oil changes. It would have lasted six more years....I just wanted a new one. Sam

  Great car for what it is... a Toyota. I bought it for just that reason and I have not been disappointed.

  Its a Shame to See It Go! - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Rona - October 27 - 1:00 am

  "Reliability" is the key word when discussing a Prizm. I now have owned five of them, plus a Corolla and a Chevy Nova (87). In all these cars the only mechanical problem I ever had was a clutch slave cyliner ($40.00) in the Nova. That is amazing. GMs decision to stop making the Prizm will send me to Toyota for a Corolla. However, my most recent 2002 Prizms (Yes I bought two of them this weekend before the rebates ended) enabled me to save over $4,000 per car compared to the Corolla.

  1999 - Chevy Prizm - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Tomcated - October 22 - 2:00 am

  I got the prizm bran new from the dealer and since then it has not fail me, I have about 120,000 miles on it and it still runs like new. I like it because it does what it needs to do, take me to work and back. Fuel economy is good. It came loaded with CD player, sunroof, power everything, driver, passenger and side airbags. Yes, there is little run on the back, but I am the only one who drives, so who cares. I dont care what people think of the prizm, I like it and its going to be hard to get rid of this car.

  Oregon Prizm - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Eric Mellgren - September 24 - 2:00 am

  A solid, basic car that is both comfortable and fun to drive. Bigger inside than it first appears. Fuel economy is as good as claimed - never less than 32 mpg in town (with a 5- speed) and 36-38 mpg on the road.

  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.
