my dad can no longer drive so I got his Prizm. Way fun to drive and very good maneuverability. only has 60000 miles so i hope I don't have to find out about burning through oil for a couple of years. I like the way it hugs the road. hard to get used to no power anything! dad was frugal so remembering to lock doors and having to roll windows a small hassle. Getting in and out harder due to low profile. M y Subaru will be used in snow and for long commute. This is just to get around town

This Chevy Prizm was my first car. I'm just 16 but the quality of the car is amazing. The car is mainly quiet when driving and is easy to maintain. I bought the car when it had 50,000 miles and have had virtually no problems. The Prizm has cruise, power everything, automatic lights, with a 3 speed automatic. The car handles the turns well and has just enough power to travel the hills and highways. Overall a good car.

A good starter

A good buy if you're trying to get on your feet. It isn't a 'Vette, but it gets your from A to B with reliability, comfort, and excellent fuel economy. Just be sure to take it back to the dealer for those odd squeaks and creaks while it's still under warranty; they get annoying quickly.

A first year release?

Needed a car, couldn't pass up the $5k rebates for the last model year. Ordered silver, surprised me with red (changes colors in different light) :) Overall it's been a dependable fuel efficient car. Great hwy car and efficiency. Invokes little passion but does it's job well. Oil changes and maintenance are a snap - 1st winter - engine hammered at startup- found out local chain was putting in 10w-30, now I chnge it and use 5w-30, makes a big diff! Powertrain still feels bulletproof, but trim (interior door panels, carpet, paint) seem decontented compared to past 2 Prizms - hopefully Toyota has reversed this - feels like a 1st yr release because of it - no real problems to report at 40k.
