2002 Chevrolet Prizm 4 Dr STD Sedan Review

A Good First Car Or A Car For A Person With Simple Needs. Great On Gas Mileage. — Despite being an unimaginative re-badging of a Toyota Corolla, the Prizm is a reliable little car with tight steering and an apparent dislike for frequent stops at the pump. The rear seats are tiny, almost unusable, but they are there for those that may need to transport two more people comfortably. The vehicle, being a economy car, puts out around 120 hp, probably 90 of which makes it to the wheels. This is more than most cars in it's class, and it's tuned intake helps with acceleration, though the A/C sucks a more than noticeable amount of power from the pedal. Overall, a good affordable car with great gas mileage, but not enough room for more than 3 people to use effectively. Primary Use: Commuting to work

Engr — Bought new in '02, now have almost 70,000 miles on it. So far no repairs, just needed tires. I get the oil changed every 3-4 k miles. The acceleration and braking are above average for a 4-cyl. The looks are ok, paint is holding up well. It has a squeak in the dashboard area when the weather is cold, but it goes away after the interior of the car warms up. That is the worst thing about this car. My husband has a '00 same model also no problems so far. | ||

ProsThirty-nine miles per gallon, baby! ConsThis is a boring car. It's a rebadged Carolla and looks like a host of other cars from the same period.

The 2002 Prizm Is Reliable And Gets Great Fuel Economy. — My 2002 Prizm and I have been through a lot. For the first two-years of its life it traveled 500+ miles a week up and down the worst freeway in Southern California -- the 605. It survived any manner of rubbish flying around the freeway and was able to safely avoid many accidents. This car takes a licking and keeps on ticking. And although it may not be the most beautiful car in the lot, it probably gets better gas mileage than anything else out there (save the Prius). | ||

Troubling Engine Problem At 57000 — Great mileage and reliability. Couldn't beat the price with $3000 rebate, $3500 GMCard, and negotiating to invoice. Got the thing darn near 1/2 off MSRP!! Very soft in the turns and poor handling balance toward understeer. Fixed it with some aftermarket stabilizer bars. Now it is quite neutral and very stiff making it fun to drive.
