First brand new car I ever bought and still pleased! Over 9 yrs old and approaching 160,000 miles. Have done all regular maintenance and going great! good acceleration even at high speeds. fun for motoring! :) easy to drive in rain/snow--corrects easily from a skid. sturdy build--I can't believe the stuff I've run over or hit with this car over the years and it's still driving fine and looks great!
i love it!

Great car! Nothing wrong! The only thing is the radio is weak. My brakes grind occasionally, but we just got new ones, so maybe they're being broken in. (?) Also, it's not too powerful, but like someone else said, plain city driving is wonderful. Everyone that's seen me in my new Prizm has told me how cute it is, so that's a plus.
Dependable

Not a very peppy 105 HP engine but it is easy to work on and pretty efficient. It can get 38 MPG on the highway. Hopefully it's good for another 50K miles
Great car

Bought this car in 1999 and I have driven it almost 90,000 miles. From cold NY winters to hot Las Vegas summers, this car has never left me stranded by the roadside.
Good solid car

This car is safe, convenient and reliable. Those are not sexy words and this is not a sexy car. I do have a few quibbles with the manufacture of the Prizm -- one of the inside arm rests' was not well attached and frequent comes off when grabed and one of the heating dials came loose a while ago. Again, annoying but rather minor. It has never broken down or had major problems.
