1993 Geo Prizm consumer reviews

I purchased the vehicle second hand this year for 300 dollars and I used the stimulus check to replace the CV joints and water pump and timing belts. The car still runs great and the a/c and heat are working great too. It doesn't use any oil or smoke and runs like a dream. Normally I wouldn't put money into an old car like this but so far it's never left me stranded. I love the gas mileage this car gets. I average about 23mpg in town with the air conditioning on. I haven't been on the highway yet but I suspect it will get about 35 or better. It has no power options so nothing to really wear out. For a small car it's pretty good. The best part is it's paid for and at 171000 miles it runs like a dream.

Outrageously reliable car. Never had any major repairs or issues with it in the 18 years we had it in our family. We drove it to 275,000 + miles, and only had to get rid of it because of rust. The thing just never quit! I've often considered buying another one.

I have the 5 speed manual. It is good for a smaller family with 2 kids. It is a little small but that is the only downside. It is very reliable and it gets great gas mileage.(More then what the review says it gets!) Like I said in the title, my family and I have owned one for 14 years and it is still running like new. I personally love it and would recommend it for anyone.

Compared to my previous car, this GEO PRISM LSI never needed a major repair. It has been the most reliable car I have ever used. I have never needed to replace the clutch, or any part of the stainless steel exhaust system. The only repair I made was for the electric power window control which didn't work once and to change the tires. This car, a 5-speed manual, was fun to drive and had good pick up for a small car. The heat and air conditioner produce the correct temperature air quickly. The cloth upholstery has been very durable; it looks the same as the day I bought the car. At, 90,000 miles I feel the car has many more years to go. General Motors and Toyota produced this car together. It is the same car as the Toyota Corolla, yet if the Geo ever needed to be fixed it would be less expensive to repair than the Corolla I believe. Also, the power window is a hard top unlike today's cars which tend to be glass. Plus the outside door to the gas cap locks and can only be opened from the inside, unlike many new GM cars today. It was a very good buy. Reliable.
