Good enough, but not great.
I had this car for over 3 years until I decided that I had enough of taking it to the garage. I bought my Prism when it was 7 years old with 79,000 miles. When I got rid of it, it had 133,000 miles on it. Right away, the exhaust needed to be replaced. Then I had a stream of minor to moderate repairs to be made during the 3 year period including replacing the ignition, starter, and radiator. Also, from day one the rear view deforosters never worked. Towards the end I had a few too many minor problems. The car made far too many creaks & squeaks while on the road. I also felt too much like I was in a tin can. I guess I expected more from a Toyota twin.
Best Car EVER
I bought my 91 Geo Prizm used in 97, from its original owner, when I was 19. I drove it until I was 35. The only work it ever needed, until it gave up, was two new starters. It sat for four years, long story, and started right up with a hot battery. Would probably still be driving it but something was wrong with the valves and the mechanic who 'fixed it" glued the valves open and Bruenhilda finally gave up one me.
Keeps going and going and going
I bought this car in February I went thru gave it a good tune up the power steering doesn’t work the fluid leaks faster than I can put it in does have hole in muffler but getting ready to fix both things it had been sitting about 6 months checked all the hoses I think the way they look they were put on at a later date but the first time I drove the car I loved it even though I knew it needed a tune up I bought this car to fix up so I know I’m gonna keep it awhile
