1991 Geo Prizm review from North America
"Great car for the college student on a budget"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced two batteries.
Front axle joints went out at 190000 miles.
Headliner came down at about 180000 miles.
Door handle broke on the interior.
Trunk leaks.
Shift lock override button must be pushed to shift out of park.
General comments?
Overall, the car is remarkably reliable.
It's never left me stranded.
It handles great.
Take off is a little sluggish, but very quick after initial take off.
Great on gas mileage.
I find the interior to be very comfortable, especially the front seats.
The interior of the car is a little small, but overall, no complaints.
