  What a CAR !!!!! - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By faraaz - November 28 - 8:12 am

  I have been reading reviews of many owners of this car and it seems this simple car just makes a place in your heart. Just like many other owners, I cannot think of parting away from this car. This car has really been like a reliable partner. I have 5 spd stick shift and It just turned 200K miles and boy that was a proud moment for both of us. It is amazing how such a simple car can be so good and reliable. This is one tough car which looks not so tough. Just regular oil changes, Timing Belt change, Fuel Filter change and tune ups, changed the alternator and Starter once and this car is still going strong. Wish they could make cars like these more.

  Amazing Little Car - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By lenorek - August 13 - 9:55 am

  I got this car for 2200 dollars after my (terrible) Saturn SL1 was rear ended into oblivion. I expected it would be good for a little while until I bought a "real car". Was I wrong, it was a GREAT car. with sixteen years and nearly 180K miles, it has needed very few things. Granted, it was a one owner vehicle and the person who had it maintained it meticulously. Still, I think it is very impressive that a car that retailed for around 14K in 1985 has only had one alternator replacement, one new set of brakes, front ball joint replacements and a wheel well repair. I also opted to change the timing belt. I have my Corolla now, gave Geo to my husband but I highly recommend this car.

  Best Car Ever - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By Jan Sanders - August 12 - 11:12 pm

  I bought this car 12 years ago and until recently (111,000 miles) I have not done anything but oil changes and the usual things that youd expect to be done. This car has been the most reliable car I have ever owned and I wish they were still being made.

  Farewell Trusted Friend - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By brooktroutchaser - July 4 - 12:22 pm

  This is a farewell I am selling my Prizm after some twelve years. It has been reliable and cheap. The next owner should enjoy many more years of service. It has but 128,800 miles. However, I bought a slightly used 05 Scion Xa, so it is time to part ways. The Prizm has served me well, never let me down, and Ill certainly miss her. She has a hum in the dash she didnt have before, but still drives well. I hope her next owner gives her an oil change every 3000 miles and hand waxes her as Ive done.

  Hurray for Geo - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By Hurray for Geo - May 14 - 12:19 pm

  Excellent little car that was always there as we went through other cars. The little geo was a work horse and we are passing it on to our nephew to use. Great fun little car that ran smooth. 210,000 miles replacing the engine so that we can keep it.

  I love this car - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By Gizz4mo1 - March 30 - 6:07 pm

  My parents bought this car in 1995 used with 10k miles on it. I grew up in this car and now I drive it. Its a great machine. It now has over 350,000 miles on it. It needs some repairs, but it still gets me from point a to point b with little trouble. Its kinda a pain in the summer though... I cant use the a/c or the car will stall, and it has problems starting in the summer. Also, if I come to a complete stop, I have to hold the gas down a bit and keep it flowing or the car will stall. Ive also had to replace the timing belt, tensioner, dist. Cap, door handles, oil pump, fuel pump, fuel line, and I had to weld a hole shut in the gas tank. Even with all these problems, I still love it.

  Great little car - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By umr70 - January 6 - 2:25 am

  When I got this car I wasnt sure what to expect. I have been more than pleasantly surprised! Very dependable, great mileage, low maintenance, low insurance rate, and fun to drive. It now has over 192,000 miles on it. It will comfortably cruise at 75 mph with ease and as long as i keep the speed and rpms up it maintains very good speeds even on long hills. Besides basic maintenance, I have replaced the tires once, brakes once, and alternator twice. Unfortunately, it is starting to use more oil. Otherwise, I absolutely love the little guy.

  Very Reliable/ Great Mileage - 1995 Geo Prizm
  By MacBob - December 27 - 4:06 pm

  Bought it used in 2001 and still running strong. No leaks, still cold a/c, great mileage. Wife gave it to me after she bought Ford Focus last year. Geo has been more reliable than her Focus. Getting old but couldnt let go of it so just had new paint job. Looks great. One of best cars ever owned.
