  I Love my Prizm - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By lmpress - June 29 - 5:13 pm

  Bought my Prizm at CarMax. Had 24K on it - was a previous lease. I was going to buy a Cavalier, but someone suggested the Prizm. I knew it was a Corolla in disguise. Has cruise control (bonus!), CD player, power windows/locks. Great gas mileage, especially with todays prices. Im not into fancy cars so this was perfect. Wish I had looked at these when I bought the Ford Focus in 2000 (which has already bitten the dust!)

  Great Value - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By currycook - June 29 - 3:50 pm

  This is a great car for reliability and fuel economy. We have had no problems with it and have only changed the oil on a regular basis. Its not a fancy car but for pure value its a great great car.

  Very good first car - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By cjeanine - June 15 - 8:58 pm

  Ive only had this car for about a year, and it was my first car. and I think for it being my first, I did pretty darn good. Its good on gas, and very easy to drive. The headlights turn themselves on at night, then off when the car is turned off, so I never have to worry about forgetting and leaving them on. The only annoying thing I can think of is that it doesnt always accelerate as fast as I want it to. Overall, a great, cheap, reliable car.

  Shift Lover - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Alan - May 21 - 1:54 pm

  The reason I traded my 2002 Impala in was that my wife and I were done travelling. We just needed economical, reliable city transportation. The Prizm is exactly what we needed except now wish I had a manual transmission.

  Great little car not made anymore - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By timyak - May 9 - 4:26 pm

  I bought this car from a wholesaler and it only had 5K miles on it. Not many features though. Only Automatic with AC and a radio. Still had nubbies on tires. Drives great and is more peppy than my 1997 Prizm. Get 30 MPG in city and 36 highway. I love Prizms even more now that gas is over $2 a gallon. Im on the prowl for another Prizm for my daughter.

  My little Prizm - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Mr500CM - April 20 - 6:31 pm

  Not a bad car for the price... its zippy, handles well and its good on gas. In over a year, no real problems, the biggest one was that I needed to replace two bulbs. It runs and handles well all year long.

  Great Car for Little Money - 2000 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Terence Yee - March 30 - 11:44 am

  Weve owned our Prizm for five years, now, and it is extremely dependable. With a 5-Speed, it also is surprisingly zippy. This year, we added the performance Michelins from Costco, and it actually handles quite well, too.

  Highly Reliable - 2000 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Vinod - March 11 - 3:21 pm

  Great Vehicle. It has been very reliable with no major problems reported. Great gas mileage and dependability. For someone who is 5 6", this is perfect for me. Mostly City driving, occasional highway. For a compact car, it appears to have more room than you think.

  Almost excellent but basic vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Prizm
  By DonT - February 10 - 1:16 am

  It does not have the power or the ride or the seats of a more expensive car, but it starts every day and I do not fear the engine or transmission failing.

  Not the sportiest car on the block... - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By crowing - February 1 - 5:25 am

  ...but its definitely not a bad bargain. I was looking for a used car that would be reliable but still within my budget and I found this at an auction for cheap. With the Prizm line now discontinued, Ill bet auto dealers are eager to get rid of them. If you get the LSi type youll get cruise, power windows, and CD with a better than expected set of speakers, and its still about $3000 less than a comparable Corolla. It wont have the same resale value, but thats the trade off. Im about 511 and have no problems with the front seating, but leg-room in back is non-existant. Really wish it had more power. Perfect for those who want a small sedan but can live without something flashy.
