1992 Geo Prizm review from North America
"Must be the Toyota in its blood!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For an 11 year old 4 cyl. economy car this car has been incredible! Very few problems that are not normal wear.
Starter (cheap and easy to replace)
CV joints/axles (but after 180,000 miles I'm not complaining)
General comments?
This has been a great little car. My kids now use it for their beater. We have kept up on the maintenance and it just keeps on going and going! How do they make a small 4 cyl. motor get 190,000 miles and not burn oil?? My son did get T-boned last year and we have pulled dents and replaced a door etc. (different color) and it does not look too good any more, but it is a cheap, reliable ride!
