1991 Geo Prizm Base review from North America
"Great reliability for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After about 40,000 the door handles broke off.
The rear defogger went after 5 years.
The transmission went at about 68,000 miles.
The exhaust was poorly designed by Geo, had to replaced 3 times.
Headliner staring to fall off.
General comments?
The car is excellent in traffic.
Great pick up for a car that size.
Handles very well when turning.
Reliable for everyday driving.
Air conditioning is ice cold on hot summers days.
