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.

This vehicle has been the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. A real work horse.

This car is, quite simply, a great buy. It is reliable, one of the most stylish compact cars ever, and fun. It doesn't feel at all like an economy priced vehicle. I strongly recommend the LSI with 1.8L engine over the smaller, 1.6L version. I miss my Prizm very much.
Old Reliable

I bought the Prizm after my wife wrecked my previous commuter car, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. As far as utilitarian, this car has been great. It always starts and gets an average of 30 miles per gallon and 42mpg on the highway. The acceleration is sluggish but it is an otherwise great little car. I've always had Corollas and this is definitely not a disappointing "Corolla".
Excellent Value

Overall- 4 stars out of 5, considering it's class. There are a few things it's surprising to see in this car's class, chiefly the tremendous upholstery work. I was very impressed with that, as well as the trunk space, and the lively response I get from the 5-speed manual. Improvements are listed below, but overall it has been a pleasant experience.
