  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.

  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.

  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.

  Prizm Review - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Prizmowner - December 3 - 10:59 pm

  The Prizm is an excellent value for someone in the market for a small used car. My Prizm has been extremely reliable in the year that I have owned it. The 3-speed transmission sounds like its laboring at speeds above 55 mph(good around town however). 4-speed would be much better I think. There is decent acceleration for a small car. Back seat is cramped - a friend got in and almost couldnt get back out. Overall, Im pretty happy with my car. Paid $5999 for a loaded 01 over a year ago - cant beat the price for the quality of the car.

  The Lil Car that could - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Leon127 - September 2 - 2:00 am

  This car was originally bought for my mom, and shes an older lady so she doesnt know too much about car maintenance. The engine in this car has ran 3 times with no oil AT ALL, i know it sounds impossible but its true. And i just did her tune up because her last one was at 60k miles.. the car is at 80k now. The engine in this car is extremely fuel efficient and reliable. This is an excellent first car.

  Great Used Car - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By specbike81 - June 24 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car after 2 Brothers of mine have previously owned Prizms. I bought it because it is a Toyota Corolla that is 2 grand cheaper. Same engine, and basically the same car. I bought my Prizm with 34,000 miles on it, and 10,000 miles later I havent had a single problem. Its a great car.

  Perky, peppy, but small vehicle. - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By Statue01 - May 30 - 2:00 am

  This is a good little car especially around town. Great gas mileage combined (30+). People are squeezed into the back seat. The head and leg room for driver is adequite even with moonroof. Trunk is good for groceries but not much else.

  Good looking and GREAT gas mileage - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By athena4422 - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Its a great lil car with good features, but make sure you have handbook or else you cant fix clock. Gas mileage right now is 36m/gal, the dealership said it might get 29m/gal. With gas prices right now this is its best feature.

  reliable little car - 2001 Chevrolet Prizm
  By cmpokey - May 15 - 2:00 am

  Car was real good around town until I went on 1300 mile trip. It is too small for trips and wind was trying to toss it into the ditch. It had little pickup on mountain roads. Good for around town. Needs armrest and better cupholder position. I have had alignment issues too.
