Prizm Is A Dream — Great gas mileage. Small car, big performance -- handles well, accelerates nicely for a small engine, brakes well. Clean appearance, nothing fancy. Cheap to maintain; no repairs yet at 110,000 mi. Lsi is nice trip, a few bells, not too many whistles; family car. This is my 3rd Prizm in a row -- I'd buy again if they still produced them!

Practical, Reliable And Economical — This is a Toyota Corolla by another name. You get Toyota reliability at half the price when you buy used since the Chevrolet brand don't hold it's value as Toyota does. It's comfortable, enought space for 4 adults. Maintenance is cheap and parts are easy to find anywhere. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

A Reliable Daily Driver, But No Fun — Terrible acceleration; decent braking; decent handling. Reliable, but build quality is terrible! Appearance is mediocre. Cost of owndership is low. This car is definitely not "fun" to drive. If you want your Grandma's car, drive this. If you want a fun youthful car STAY AWAY!!! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Good For A Small Budget — I like my little prism but it isn't too powerful or cool. It has decent power for a small four-banger with 1.8 lt displacement and 125,000 on it though. I like her because she is good to me, not because she is the sweetest ride on the street. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

The Ultimate School Car — Gets great gas, many chips on hood from highway use, excellent school car. Has never had work done on it. All that was needed is a oil change every 5000 miles runs great. Better then a corrola for that year. Car has a pretty good stereo for stock. I love this car. | ||

Awesome Chevy Prizm — This 1999 Chevy Prizm is by far the best car I've ever owned. The quality and durability is second to none. The car currently has 127,000 miles and starts with no problems whether it is -30 or 100 degrees. The exterior and interior design is dramatically boring and really has very little style to it. I guess I had to sacrifice looks for quality in this case. The gas mileage is about 40 mpg with a mix of city and highway driving. My car has a 5-speed manual, so no doubt that helps the number go up. Performance is okay. I've never needed more power then the car offers, but it would be nice to have that little extra power in order to increase the fun factor. I love how the car handles the dreadful Wisconsin winters. The car plows through the deep snow and has never left me with a problem. The biggest complain is the front leg comfort. Some more arch support for the legs in the front seats would be greatly helpful. And it would be nice if the back seat folded down. Other than that, it is an excellent basic transportation car that is cheap to own and maintain. | ||

Pays For Itself — Its a fun car and it couldn't be beat for what I payed for it. While it is still just a Toyota 1.8L engine it is well powered and still holds down about 35 MPG. Owned it for 3 months and haven't had any major mechanical issues yet. I'm not incredibly enthusiastic about the styling but it was built to be an econobox. | ||

This Has Been A Great Car For Me Except For The Current A/c Problem. — This has been a great car for me except for the current A/C problem. Handles well, gets great gas mileage without being a snobby "hybrid." Biggest complaint is the hauling capabilities are limited. A pass through back-seat to the trunk would be my only suggestion for a major redesign. Owner for 4 years, 0 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 |
