1998 Chevrolet Prizm

Pros: reliable
Cons: bad back seat, noisy

1997 was a year which had several "firsts" for me. Not only had I entered college for the first time, but I also first began to look for my own car to purchase. Years of saving birthday and Christmas money had finally paid off and I soon was to...

Pros: ...Lots of space, good value, nice interior...
Cons: ...seats get uncomfortable after a few hours...

...When my girlfriend had me drive her Chevy Prism (formerly Geo Prism), I must admit that I had low expectations. In recent history, I've been spoiled with Japanese engineering, and my last memories of an American car were a not-so-well-equipped...

Pros: Dependable
Cons: Small back seat

Purchased car for work and personal use. I work as a technician and needed a car that could carry all the spare parts required for repairing copiers. I drive an average of 1000 miles/month for work purposes so the car also had to be very dependable at...

Pros: Toyota quality, Toyota engine, economy on gas & insurance, roomy trunk, lots of good options, competitive price
Cons: Not for tall people, non-LSI is too spartan, not enough power to drag race

Drivers looking for speeding tickets or for the thrill & danger of a Porsche or Corvette will not be interested in this car. Anyone who wants real value for a small car, however, should be interested in the Chevrolet Prizm.
This used to be a...

Pros: economical, no major repairs
Cons: interior rattles

We bought a Chevy Prism for our college son to drive back and forth to school - about 120 miles each way. This car gets great gas mileage. After two years and 80,000 plus miles he is still getting about 25 miles to the gallon. We have had no major...

Pros: Quiet, smooth ride, easy to maintain. Some of the best crash test ratings on the market
Cons: None that I have found so far

In 1998 I became pregnant with my son, and immediately started looking for a new car. At the time we owned a 1994 Geo Metro (still have it), and my husband and I both agreed that it was not adequate to transport a child in safely. So I started hunting...

Pros: Great car for the $$
Cons: It is a sedan...I want a coupe, but need 4 doors

In 1998, I found my self in need of a 4-door car--putting a 1 yr old in the back of a 2-door just got to be too difficult. I looked around and against my first instinct, I bought the 1998 Chevy Prism. It had been made by their GEO line in the past and I...

Pros: good value, reliability
Cons: rather small

My husband and I bought our Prizm in 1998. It was a manager's demo model with 6,000 miles on it, and because of that, the price was right and the vehicle was loaded. We had planned to spend about 13,000 on a bare bones model originally, but when we saw...

Pros: handling, looks, environmental controls
Cons: passing power, trunk space

I flew to Arizona a couple of year's ago to visit my brother and he had just bought a prizm. He lives in Phoenix metro area and it has a lot of stop and go traffic as well as excursions on the interstate. I was prepared for a bumpy ride and poor air...

Pros: Price, reliability
Cons: Electrical, carpet

I purchased this vehicle for several reasons. First, it was in my price range. Second, it was rated well in Consumer Reports. Third, and most important, I heard good things about it from those who owned a Prizm. Fourth, and finally, I bought a Prizm...

Pros: Great gas mileage, fun to drive, reliable
Cons: windows fog somewhat easily

This is my second Prizm. I got the very last of the Geo line with my second purchase and once again, I am not disappointed. Both times I bought the manual. It's fun to drive and is completely reliable. The only time (besides regular maintenance) that...

Pros: economical, many extras, dependable
Cons: none

I bought my slightly used 1998 Chevrolet Prizm LSI a year and a half ago from my local Chevy dealer. I am happy to say that I have not had any problems whatsoever since I bought it. It gets great gas mileage, looks great and is very peppy and fun to...

Pros: Reliability,price,gas mileage,features
Cons: Ignition problem

We had 1998 Chevrolet Prizm LSI for 2 years.Recently we returned it back to GMC because we had SmartBuy contract. Actually it was quite sad to return it...
Folks, that's great car and I'll tell you why now:
+ It's good car for its price.It's a...

Pros: Toyota quality, yet cheaper than Corolla, very good performance, comfort and amenities.
Cons: Tight back seat, mpg not thrilling, road noise at highway speeds.

We leased this 1998 Prizm new after pricing Corolla's. Toyota had so many trim levels and option packages that it reminded me of american cars of the 1960's. Chevy, on the other hand, had just two models: LSI and the Prizm Sedan. We opted for the sedan...
