This is the second Prizm I have owned. Traded the first at 184,000 miles. The 97 has 186,000 miles and just won't quit. The salesman at the dealership was right "You'll get sick of looking at it before you need to replace it". Most reliable, fuel efficient vehicle I have ever owned. Fun to Drive!

I got this car from my mother. It's the 1.8 auto. My gas mileage is incredible. Hwy mileage is anywhere from 40-44 mpg and combined is about 38. Given I'm not a jack rabbit driver and I use synthetic oil in this car. Its the first time I ever got better gas mileage than what is advertised. I will never sell this car.
Great car

Bought this car in July of 08, when gas hit about 3.50 a gal. Parked the truck 15 miles per gal. I live in Minnesota, so it gets cold, car sits outside for one week solid it was above 20 below without the wind chill, started always and not only that still got good gas mileage about 32 city. In the summer I was getting 35, but not freeway. On the freeway driving 55 to 60, got 42 eat your heart out Prius, and I didn't need to spend 20 grand or more, car is paid for

I bought this car new. The only major item I have had to ever replace was the altenator. Other than that, it's been just typical maintenance that any car has(new tires, oil, batteries). I'm looking for another one with less miles than mine has now, as I need another car for my daughter and I would really like to own another Geo Prizm.
