  Just bought this as an extra car. - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By dmd747 - February 27 - 5:39 am

  So I just purchased this car used with just a little over 96,000 miles. Gotta say great choice. Weve been having a hellish winter here -20s not uncommon followed by 6-12 inches of snow when it warms up. This car has never even hesitated. Mine is the 5 speed and I love the gas mileage. Awesome heat!!! A/C works too. Mine had the usual door handle break off, but the previous owner fixed it. I cant believe I actually enjoy driving this car. I wish the new Corolla wasnt cvt then Id buy one next year.

  Best car I have ever owned - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By pteixeira - September 29 - 8:09 am

  I bought this car new, ordered it in fact, down to every feature. It was my very first new car. Fast forward 12 years and my baby has 120,000 miles on her and has never let me down. Ever. I replaced the tires a few times, the compressor on the air conditioner and a few minor things, but this car has never left me stranded at the roadside. I still get 35-40mpg. I will drive this car till the wheels fall off. I expect to put on another 100,000 easily.

  Greatest car ever built by Chevy - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Lovin It - October 7 - 7:26 am

  I have owned this car for ten years with no problems. It now has 160,000 miles and still runs great. I have only had regular maintenance like oil changes, tires, brakes, etc. Drives great in the snow and rain- easy to handle. I absolutely love this car and really believe it will get another 100,000 at least. Wish they were still rolling off the assembly line.

  Prism cant beat it - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By tdhicks - January 16 - 4:25 am

  I bought this car in 2000, and was using it to deliver papers about 400 of them daily. On Sunday this car would carry 2000 plus pounds of paper up and down hills, through snow, rain etc. All I did was change the oil, breaks and tires. After completley beating this car up, a paper route will tell you if your car is worth anything. I tell you this has too be the best car ever. The door handle inside finally brooke off, but thats opening and closing it 200 times a day. The transmision and engine are still in great shape. After 7 years of using it on paper routes I just spent 600 dollars to completely redo the suspension and bearings. The car is like brand new. Chevy needs to make this car

  No regrets - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Starving student - July 21 - 3:08 am

  I really cant say enough about this car. It is the first car that I have owned and Im afraid it may have set the bar too high for my future vehicles. I try to keep up on the routine maintenance, but even when I dont, the car is extremely forgiving. It has given me 50000 miles of trouble free driving and all I have given back is oil, tires, brakes and a battery. This amazes me because my wife learned how to drive a 5-speed on this car, it is not garaged (it gets buried in snow every winter and withstands sub zero temperatures) and we drive it all over the western US during the summers. On a recent trip, I calculated that we averaged 44 mpg! Bottom line: this is an all around great car.

  Most Reliable Car Ever Owned - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By RPriest - September 18 - 12:30 pm

  I bought this car used 7 years ago. Days in shop for repairs since then? Zero. It performs exactly like the first day I bought it, and still gets the same outstanding city mileage (31 mpg). This is a car with no hassles. I cant say enough postive about it.

  Car is awesome - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By lovemyprizm - August 12 - 7:22 am

  I bought my Prizm because of the fuel economy, and figured it would at least get me back and forth throuh 4 years of commuting to college. Its now at 124,000 miles and still runs like its new! There are little things that are starting to wear out now, like my heater/air conditioner blower only works on high, but thats just age and can be delt with. This is a totally reliable car and gets great gas mileage. I average anwhere between 35 and 40 mpg depending on the type of driving Im doing. I would reccomend this car to anyone thinking of buying one. Its a practical car, so if your looking for sporty its not the car for you.

  Reliable Cutie - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Bahadir - July 20 - 2:54 am

  I needed a car to get me from point A to point B. My Prizm has a nice design, and is pretty quick with a Japanese engine and drivetrain. I thank Chevy for the decision. Best idea ever--no problems. Only changing oil was enough.

  Gives me what I have expected and more - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Burak - July 20 - 2:47 am

  This car is absolutely the best. Reliable, with enough quickness and a nice design (better than his sister Corolla). For a mid-size sedan, it gives what you expect. There are some small design details, but they dont matter. I think Corolla saw that market is going to Prizm, than decided not to give the engine and drivetrain to Chevy. And they stopped the line after 02. How sad.

  Prizm is a GREAT car! - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By TheHeat - March 8 - 2:00 am

  I really cant say enough about this car. Ive owned Hondas, Nissans, a Mazda, and many other foreign and domestic autos and this is absolutely in the top three, heck it may be number 1 overall! Just an awesome, reliable and economical Corolla clone. Think Ill keep it for a LONG time!
