  Mt Runner - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By mt goat - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I have the Lsi with power moon roof, manual 5 spd. This is everything I have been looking for. I was impressed by the power because the first thing I did was floor it up a huge hill. I drive it up to a ski resort every Sunday in winter where Im on the ski patrol. I havent had a problem on icy roads and I love the gas milage.

  Solid Car - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By prizmrus - December 29 - 2:00 am

  Have over 108K miles and going strong. Have only had to replace brakes, clutch, tires, oil changes etc. No major repair work. My prizm is loaded with moonroof, alloy tires, 5 sp manual compensates for 4 cyl engine and sluggishness expressed by automatic trans owners. I get 38 mpg and drive 18k per year so this car saves bucks on gas and maintenance. Open the moon roof, crank the cd player and look out this baby can fly ...

  Reliability Rocks - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Happy Prizm Driver - November 30 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 98 Prizm Lsi with 56,000 miles on it. Ive put about 14,000 miles on it since and it has been a great car. I got 35.9 mpg on the highway with 4 adults and a trunk PACKED with luggage, and this car doesnt even have the overdrive transmission. Rock solid reliability, according to most online consumer guides. My Prizm has some vibration over 65 mph, which did not disappear after buying new tires and having them balanced. Try to find a Prizm with the overdrive, so youre not buzzing so hard when driving highway speeds.

  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.

  Wonderfully dependable - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By choalb - November 21 - 2:00 am

  For over 4 yrs, this car has been absolutely reliable--good mileage 34mpg with automatic transmission, no leaks, no rattles, relatively quiet on the freeway especially after I switched tires. Do regular maintenance and thats it. For me, Im 58", the car is very comfortable.

  75,000 Miles and no problems. - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By fridaynight - September 23 - 2:00 am

  My husband and I bought this car b/c his uncle worked at NUMI where they are made and got us a great deal. We couldnt be happier. We havent had a single problem with it. Nothing has broken on the inside and the engine is still running beautifully. Aside from your regularly scheduled maintenance/oil changes/tire rotation... we havent had to put any extra $$ into the car at all. Its very reliable and you definitely get more than you paid for. Its not a luxury car, but its great for commuting and people who drive a lot of miles.

  55,000 miles and still going strong. - 1998 Chevrolet Prizm
  By JimNC - August 4 - 2:00 am

  I now have owned my 1998 Prizm since new and am very satified. It has never been to the dealer for a repair. Only gas, oil changes, and tires have been required. My only real compliant is the lack of legroom. Even with the seat all the way back I need another inch or so and Im only 511". The ride is quiet and smooth for this size car - handling is a not very crisp. Average 30-31 MPG with 4-sp automatic. Not very exciting, but excellent basic transportation.
