  2001 Prism 4 DR Sedan - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By robt1950 - June 26 - 2:00 am

  I bought this used for my wife - was upside down in her trade-in but dealer worked a very good deal - same as a Corolla but cheaper. Was a program car. Not very comfortable for long trips, but good for trips around town. Performance is as expected with an engine this size. Have had one alignment with no further problems - has been trouble-free since purchase!!

  great car to buy used - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By atl234 - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new for about 16000 and got exactly what I expected, decent pick-up for an economy car and reliability. I would probably not buy it again unless it was used. These cars depreciate faster than the corolla. A used Prizm would be an excellent first car. Much better choice than a used civic, which will cost more.

  review of 1999 Prizm - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By MAUREEN - May 21 - 2:00 am

  Overall, this is a very good car for general transportation and for individuals and small families. My model is pretty basic, but has enough frills to get by (radio, AC, power brakes/steering, automatic trans). The gas mileage is a plus. This car makes for good, reliable, affordable, fuel- efficient transportation.

  Wonderful little car - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Jackpinejack - March 24 - 2:00 am

  This is, after all, a Toyota Corolla with a Chevy badge, and Im a Corolla nut. I just want a car that doesnt ever want or need to be fixed, and this Prizm/Corolla fits the bill. Too bad Chevy has dropped the line -- I guess they were embarassed that they junk-pile small models they make (I once owned a ghastly Vega) cant compare. Reliable Reliable Reliable.

  Crash Survivor - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By zmjh - March 10 - 2:00 am

  I was recently the victim of a hit and run accident in my 1999 Prizm - hit broadside on the drivers side near the front wheel. I havent seen the police report yet, but the impact was severe. The car is a total loss, but I think it saved my life. The car contracted like an accordion - absorbing the shock. The shoulder harness locked, preventing me from flying into the windshield, and the airbags deployed, giving my head a soft landing from the unavoidable forward movement. In short, I got out of the car without a scratch. If crash safety is your concern, I can certainly testify to my favorable experience.

  Update from previous Revie - 1999 Chevrolet Prizm
  By whitespirit - February 1 - 2:00 am

  I put 80,000 miles on my car in 3 years. I bought new for $15,000 and traded it in for $ 3,500. The master cylinder was just starting to go when I traded it. I was also on my 3RD set of 60,000 TIRES !!!! This care ate tires, they would only wear in one spot and the rest looked new. But the car kept going no matter what. It would not die under 700 mile trips, excessive 100+ mile per hour trips, and constant abuse. Had this been a cheap car I would have demolished it along time ago.

  Good car, cheap ride - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Pastor Kim - January 21 - 2:00 am

  Ive beat my 1998 Prizm to death, with a lot of stop and go city driving, and have not taken care of it very well---- I manage to change the oil about every 5,000 miles, and once in a while I run it through a car wash----thats about it. I have had no major problems with the car. I plan to drive it till it dies. With an end of the year rebate and a GM card accumulation of dollars, I paid $10,000 for this basic car----5 speed, AC, AM/FM, RWD, and thats about it for "frills". Still, it gets me where Im going. I probably would buy another one.

  Everything I had hoped for and more! - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Eli Herron - January 11 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my car in November of 2001. I love it! I had to replace the tires shortly after I bought it, but they were inexpensive. I drive it all over Arizona for work and I have no problems with it. I change the fluids religiously so I am sure that has alot to do with the performance. I highly recommend the car to anyone! Unless you are very tall. I am 5 11 and it fits me just fine.
