  230K and still going strong - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By RedWonder - August 13 - 10:22 pm

  I inherited my prizm for my high school graduation 5 years ago. It now has 230K miles on it and still runs great! I think the frame of the car will fall apart before it stops running - It has lots of rust from being outside, Ive gone through 3 door handles, and the radio is questionable - but the engine is still in great shape! The low miles are great and it is truly a dependable car!

  The ride that keeps on going - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By ronniezlove - May 15 - 8:29 pm

  The drivers door handle has broken off and is non functional as well as the inside handle. We open the inside with the handle of a crescent wrench . The passenger door opens from the outside only and we have to use the wrench to get out. So I will say they should have come up with a better door handle system. No problems with the drive train. It does use 5 or 6 qts. of oil a year. Overall, I LOVE this car and would recommend one just like it to anyone!

  Loved My Baby - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By Dorisk - June 7 - 9:41 am

  I just sold my "baby." This Geo was a very dependable car and very comfortable. The main problem I had with it was the door handles would break. I replaced the front door handle twice and one back door handle. Ive had this car since 1995 and just sold it because I purchased a 2009 Toyota Corolla. My Geo had 70,000 miles and is still in good condition. Sold it to my brother-in- law who wanted a vehicle that was easy on gas. He has two SUVs that are gas guzzlers. I hope he has as good luck as Ive had with my Geo.

  My first car - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By first car is G-O - August 14 - 2:00 am

  A wonderful little car. If youre looking for power, look elsewhere. This is a fun, economical little car. The toyota seats are snug. Ill try to drive mine until it rusts apart. The only semi-complaint is with the body. One door has a baseball-size spot rusted through. The 5 spd manual is peppy and fun to drive however, reverse is sometimes hard to find. An excellent economy car.

  Cant give it up... - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By Jeff11 - July 20 - 2:00 am

  This car has been unbelieveable. I purchased it for $800 in 2/03 with 127k. It now has 144k and runs like a top. I have to add oil every now and then and the high fan speed is not working but besides that this car has been a money saver. I want to purchase so many new cars but with no monthly payment and such low insurance I think I may run it till it dies.

  Ole Reliable - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By boundsn - February 9 - 2:00 am

  In case you didnt know, this is basically a Toytoa Corolla. This is a fine car, and Ive enjoyed many miles with it. Ive driven from NC to FL to NV to VA and lots of places in between, without a hitch. I do all my own maintanence, and it is very easy to work on, and the parts arent expensive.

  Our other car is a Ford... - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By Still smiling - November 13 - 2:00 am

  This is the only reliable car we have ever owned. We survived owning 2 Chevettes, a Jetta, a Lumina, a Cavalier, a Plymouth Voyager and currently a Ford Windstar. Every one of them had some major defect or annoyance that cost a ton of money to repair. This Prizm owes us nothing.

  Wont die... - 1992 Geo Prizm
  By av8rdude - July 6 - 2:00 am

  This was my wifes car and I got to start driving it after we got married. I have been driving it for 7 years and it will not die. I do take care of the car and do lots of preventative maintenance, but it has 130k miles and is going strong. My only complaint is the automatic transmission needs an overdrive gear. The engine seems to reach max rpm at around 73 mph. It has lots of power and torque, just a low end transmission. The 5 speed would be a bonus.

  By joseph and Segieray - June 3 - 2:00 am

  this is a very reliable school student car. I can honestly say that without my prizm I would be way behind on everything without my realiable prizm transportation. this car gets me everywhere and anywhere I want to go.
