Gooooo Geo!
I make fun of myself for owning the un- prestigous Geo. However, this car has been worth every penny I paid for it four years ago. I highly recommend this vehicle if you are looking for an economical and reliable vehicle. If you're looking for luxury. . . keep looking.
great car
After owning my GEO for 5 years, I now have 143,000 miles on it and am just replacing the starter motor now - that's the only major thing except for replacing the brakes at 130,000 miles! I hope that my next car will be as great as this one. I'm sorry to hear they are discontinuing it!
The Car that Won't Die
Purchased for $2000 with 149k on it, and have driven it a lot since purchased. Consistently gets 41 - 42 mpg on highway trips. Have driven from Washington to Utah, to Oklahoma, to California, and never had a problem. Drives smooth and is super reliable.
Diamond in the Rough
General motors didn't know a good thing when they had it. The Prizm is an excellent value in the small car segment. I own a 1995 Prizm LSi with the 1.8 liter motor and a 5-speed manual transmission. The performance is more than adequate, and is almost surprising. The ride is very good, with no noticeable quivers in the chassis. With power windows, locks, and mirrors, this car has anything you can want. The build quality is second to few, and better than any other car built by GM. A great buy.
Not bad for a small car
Even buying it used with 150K it has been a good car. The windows are a little tight to open or close now though but fixable. The only thing I'm not sure of is why the wheel alignment isn't very good. Could be a legacy item from previous owner though. Performance rating takes a hit because the overdrive doesn't always work now. To get the best mileage though I would suggest Spitfire plugs. I've used them in 3 cars now and each got 10% better mileage roughly.
