So nice! - 1997 Geo Prizm
By pacothechihuahua - July 21 - 2:00 amI just bought this car from a friend. It had been in an accident and was considered totalled by the insurance company but it wasnt a hard it just a minor hit. The car was fixed and you cant even tell. The ride is great, only problem is acceleration, but with the manual tranny it makes it a little easier to bear. I am a former Ford owner and even though I got 200k miles on my escort (and its still running) I would never buy a ford again. Too bad they stopped making the prizm, its a great car and I would consider buying a newer one once I am out of college.

Old Reliable - 1997 Geo Prizm
By timyak - June 26 - 2:00 amI bought the Prizm after my wife wrecked my previous commuter car, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. As far as utilitarian, this car has been great. It always starts and gets an average of 30 miles per gallon and 42mpg on the highway. The acceleration is sluggish but it is an otherwise great little car. Ive always had Corollas and this is definitely not a disappointing "Corolla".

I miss you, Prizm!!! - 1997 Geo Prizm
By zeusjuice - April 14 - 2:00 amThis car is, quite simply, a great buy. It is reliable, one of the most stylish compact cars ever, and fun. It doesnt feel at all like an economy priced vehicle. I strongly recommend the LSI with 1.8L engine over the smaller, 1.6L version. I miss my Prizm very much.

The Toyota Legend Continues - 1997 Geo Prizm
By blur - March 18 - 2:00 amI looked for a long time before I found this little guy. Toyotas are legendary for reliability, and I have yet to be disappointed. Zero to sixty? You need a sundial, but who cares. My kids love it because it has a stupendous aftermarket stereo.

i love it! - 1997 Geo Prizm
By Meredith - September 3 - 2:00 amGreat car! Nothing wrong! The only thing is the radio is weak. My brakes grind occasionally, but we just got new ones, so maybe theyre being broken in. (?) Also, its not too powerful, but like someone else said, plain city driving is wonderful. Everyone thats seen me in my new Prizm has told me how cute it is, so thats a plus.

Good solid car - 1997 Geo Prizm
By bres - June 7 - 2:00 amThis car is safe, convenient and reliable. Those are not sexy words and this is not a sexy car. I do have a few quibbles with the manufacture of the Prizm -- one of the inside arm rests was not well attached and frequent comes off when grabed and one of the heating dials came loose a while ago. Again, annoying but rather minor. It has never broken down or had major problems.

97 geo prizm review - 1997 Geo Prizm
By yssa - May 18 - 2:00 amKinda boring to look at, but its never once broken down or run into any problems whatsoever. Only problem Ive found is you have to floor it to accelerate (on ramp to the highway) and inclines. Not very powerful, but for local driving or long distance reliability its a great car. Great mileage too.
