Pros: Handles Well, Great Gas MPG
Cons: Cramped Back Seat, Blows Across Road in High Winds

Pros: low cost, reliable, decent amount of space, good gas mileage, handles many kinds of roads
Cons: not a lot of power, not remarkable to look at, a little noisy
I got my 1995 Geo Prizm as a senior in college. It was (and still is) my first car. It has been an excellent choice. It gets good gas mileage, fits five good friends in it (or four with luggage and creative packing), has low maintenance costs and few...

Pros: compact, enough room for friends, reliable, great gas mileage
Cons: blows away in the wind
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a nice priced, used and reliable car, pick a Prism.
Why do I say that its more for your money? Basically because when my mom bought me this car, she got it for $4,500. Its worth more because for the age of the car, I have only had to do the routine maintenance. I have gotten oil changed and brakes/rotors, ...

The Geo Prizm (now called the Chevy Prizm) is a sister car to the Toyota Corrola; they are built in the same factory in California, on the same frame and engine/transmission, but the two companies slap on their unique body styling and interiors.

I bought my Prizm LSi 1.8 liter 5 speed three years ago for my wife as a daily driver. We needed a four door that was reliable and economical. Also, it needed to be cheap. I bought this one at $2300 out the door, and haven't been ...

Pros: Toyota Reliabilty, roomy enough, and good handling
Cons: Would like to have the 4 spd transmission
The Bottom Line: BUY ONE!!
I saw the other reviews and have to disagree that this is a bland car. I have a white 95' LSI and I think she looks good. I have the small 1.6L engine and an automatic. My former cars were a acura integra GSR, and a honda CRX, so I have an idea on ...

Pros: Toyota quality at GM price. Great fuel economy. Excellent value. CD & Cassette!
Cons: Older (bland to some.) no after-market mods. '95- no passenger power-lock switch.
The Bottom Line: This car is a real "sleeper" in terms of value and quality - it's a Toyota with more "American" styling!
I purchased my '95 Geo Prizm from a nice young lady in Colorado. I found it on with an internet search for "Leather 5-speed". With various expensive European cars there was this lone Geo Prizm! 5-speed standard tranny - Leather interior (LSi ...

The Bottom Line: Want a car that will not break down and costs only pennies at the pump? This one's for you.
I was in the market for a compact sedan as the Subaru wagon that I had was on it's last legs. I gravitated towards the Geo Prizm because I had heard it was built alongside the Toyota Corolla at the same plant in California. Everyone knows Toyota is...

Pros: Reliability, price, cold A/C,
Cons: None, really.
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Prizm. It has the reliability of a Corolla and the price tag of a Geo. Will last forever if I want it to.
I bought my Prizm after lots of careful shopping during my sophomore year in college. What sold me on the car was that fact that it is basically a Toyota with a Geo badge on the back of it (even the engine says Toyota and the interior looks almost...
