1992 Geo Prizm review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few alternator problems around 60,000 miles. That's pretty much it. Absolutely the most reliable car on the road.
General comments?
Extremely reliable and fun to drive. Not the flashiest car on the road but I wouldn't dare get rid of my Prizm. With 125,000 miles it out performs every new car I've test-driven.
So, I've decided not to buy a new car, but to keep the Geo going. The mechanic who does all the work on it says that it will go another 125,000 miles with proper care!!!
