1996 Geo Prizm review from North America
"You can't get much better than a Toyota car with a Geo price tag."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioning and stereo knobs have fallen off several times.
The cigarette lighter is faulty.
The front speakers are very poor, but the rear makes up for that as long as the back passengers don't mind their ear drums exploding.
There has been a little trouble with the rear alignment.
I have to replace the windshield wipers quite often, but then again it may be the Arizona sun or the brand I buy.
General comments?
This is a great little car with a sporty edge.
The mileage is a dream, and the price and size are perfect for a high school or college student.
The manual transmission is quite easy, but don't expect to smoke anyone at a stoplight.
