Hate to sell it - 1996 Geo Prizm
By wshelx - March 19 - 12:15 amI bought this car new almost 10 years ago. It never gave any trouble. It even jump started my Honda CRV. I recently put in new tires and brakes and changed fluids, wishing to drive it 100,000 more miles for 10 more years. But my wife decided to sell it because the famaly is growing and we bought a large SUV. Hate to sell it! This baby was in my family before my first baby.

Geo Prizm - reliable car - 1996 Geo Prizm
By Brian - August 4 - 11:23 pmI bought this car straight out of school, knowing that Id need a ride that would last a while. I knew I would drive it into the ground. At least I thought I would. I bought it at 16K miles. Some older woman had had the car, and I bought it for 7k even. Other than routine oil changes, I had 2 mechanical problems. The catalytic converter went in 02, and I recently had a fuel filter go. Thats it. It has been a comfortable car. I have had both of my kids in car seats in the car. We have fit 5 people comfortably. It has fair pick up, considering... it performs fairly in the NE winter, though its no dream. All in all, its most amazing feature has been reliability. Id do it again.

Wish they still made them - 1996 Geo Prizm
By Sammy in Yuma - January 1 - 5:11 pmI thought I was being pretty smart when I bought this Corolla-in-a-different-dress for $2200 less than the comparably equipped Toyota. I was! At 130,000 miles, it remains comfortable, quiet, and trouble-free. I get 33/37 mpg, no bull. All I do is change the oil and all it does is start up and run every time without fail. My wife wants a new car but I think Ill paint this one and drive it another 130,000.

Great Car - 1996 Geo Prizm
By s55amg - June 10 - 2:00 amAlthough it only has 105hp, Ive never had a problem keeping up on the highway theres more than enough passing power. Ive only had a few minor problems with the car since Ive had it and its been running great since. I now have 90,000 miles on it and it still runs like it has 30,000. Alhough it is rated at 26 miles per gallon city driving for the automatic, I regularly get 30-32mpg, never below 29mpg. Being in Hawaii, I do 80% city driving.

Prizm - A great value! - 1996 Geo Prizm
By BobPryor - March 15 - 2:00 amI have put almost a quarter of a million miles on my Prizm since buying it new in 1996. other than regular maintenance items I have spent only $500.00 on repairs. I operate this vehicle for less than 12 cents per mile including gas at $1.80/gal. This has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned in over 40 years!

Bulletproof reliability - 1996 Geo Prizm
By pwcrl - December 11 - 2:00 amBought the car with 30,000 miles. Has 150,000 on it now. Drive it hard and all I have to do is regular maintenance. 5 speed tranny shifts real nice, super gas mileage, not to bad power wise for such a little motor.
