1999 Chevrolet Prizm review from North America
"An unexciting, but very reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. Not even routine maintenance has been needed.
General comments?
The air conditioning is extremely effective and rapid.
The paint tends to crack and break off easily.
It does not handle well in the snow, as my 1990 Prizm did.
It handles quite well, but lacks power.
Gets great gas mileage, at least 32 miles to the gallon, but I have never measured exactly.
I find it comfortable on long drives, although my taller passengers get stiff legs.
