2002 Chevrolet Prizm Reviews

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.

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).
