Have owned a few prizms. They are affordable, reliable, and fuel efficient. Base models have features found in premium model corollas for less cost. Parts readily available at low cost.

Former Prizm Owner

This is one of the best vehicles for your buck that is still on the road. I don't know if this one has been taken care of but the one I bought was taken care of fairly well and I would still be driving it had it not been for my brother bugging me to let him buy it and finally gave in and bought a Camry. I have also owned a Corolla and the Prizm is exactly like th Corolla except it has a Chevrolet emblem on it! Great car!

my chevy

I bought this car brand new,good size,easy to use,properly mantained since 2001, now 59,000 miles later I am having issues with the motor RPM,on the last 3 months I have spent over $1000 on repairs. Main issues with the vibrations or low idle speed when engine is warm and I stop at traffic lights. Last change was thespeed idle control unit.Even now after the change the motor vibrates just the same or more. Need HELP.

Solid vehicle

Purchased 2001 Lsi in 2004. Now has @90,000 miles. Biggest maintenance problem was air conditioning failed two years ago and had to be replaced, but that was a comfort issue not mechanical. Still has a very modern look. Not as comfortable for big people or those with a growing family.

Just like a Toyota Corolla

The Prizm is just like the Corolla with 1/2 the price tag. It is reliable, comfortable and a great buy.

Simple transportation, dependable, LSi features

Bought used 2 years ago with 52K. Now around 87K. Only repair outside of regular maintenance items has been heater blower (incovenient, but didn't make the car unusable). Fuel economy is a consistent 33-35mpg no matter how driven. Drives like a little car. LSi has features of a midsize that are awesome (upgraded stereo, cruise control, power windows/locks, moonroof).
