This car should never wear a Chevy badge because it's clearly a Toyota all the way

2000 Chevrolet Prizm LSI review from North America

"I expected more from it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A/C leak (fixed my dealer under warranty)

A/C circuit control module.

MASS air flow sensor.

O2 sensors went out BOTH of them.

Tires, originals were junk.

Dashboard lights burning out, radio too.

Where is the oil going?? Not burning and not leaking!

General comments?

This is actually my mother's car. She bought it after my dad totaled her S-10. (Rolled it) Anyway, bought it because she had previously bought my sister a 93 Rrizm LSI and it was pretty much trouble free. Well, this 2000 doesn't have half the power the '93 model had. No pick-up to it, the O2 sensors shorted out to the tune of 300.00 each (not dealer, this was @ autozone) EXPENSIVE!!

The interior of the doors is peeling away, CHEAP!! The lights on the stereo and the dashboard are burning out. Power steering starting to make noise. The A/C module that switches on the compressor is shorted out. Oil seems to disappear between changes, I changes it last time and it was only 2800 miles on that oil change and couldn't even get a gallon out of it. My mother is in her mid 50's and does not dog her car.

Disappointing from a "Toyota" product. My dad's little Suzuki Esteem puts it to shame, sad too the Prizm is an OK looking car, hers is black with spoiler and alloy wheels "LSI" fully loaded.
