great car!
bought this car new and to date i have replaced the following parts: wiper blades, brake shoes, alternater, tires. thats it!!!! this has been the most trouble free car that i have ever owned. the car still looks great and drives like new. we also have a 97 prism with 97,000 miles, only replaced the tires- why mess with near perfection?
Dependable
This has been a good car. I have 89000 miles on it and hope to get another. Other than changing a starter at 64000 miles and I just changed the exhaust manifold. I would consider buying another Toyota product {This car is not a Chevy}.
I love my Geo!
This is flat out a great car. I'm a graduate student, and consequently I don't have a lot of money to spend on car repairs. My Geo was relatively trouble free and completely reliable. Only repair was a damaged coil at about 102,000. Unfortunately an idiot sixteen year-old girl plowed into my Geo Prizm the other day, so now I'm looking for a new Prizm. But if you want a nice car and don't have a lot of money to spend, definitely go with the Prizm LSi.
Fun and Frugal
From the beginning, this car was just right -- sporty for a family car, yet comfortable and easy on gas. It always impressed me as nimble on the coast and in the mountains, and twice kept me out of accidents by handling "at the speed of thought" -- once in traffic, once at night, avoiding a deer. Now my son's car, it just keeps on being reliable.
And going, and going......
Great little car, bought used for $2,400 with 120,000 miles. Only had to replace an alternator, and the shocks in the 65,000 miles we put on it. Took two of us from Oklahoma to Chicago with no problems twice, and many other trips with superb gas mileage. Very cold air and comfort level that ignores its price and entry-car level status. The engine is a bit underpowered, requiring well thought out passing manouvers, (it helps to punch off the A/C before hand too. Heh.) No sqeaks or rattles through 180,000 miles, before I traded her in. Actually fun to drive despite the lack of power. I miss the gas mileage. Great little car.
