1992 Geo Prizm Base review from North America
"Great car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loud bang noise in the driver's side front strut, but works fine with WD-40.
Driver's side window won't roll down.
Air conditioning was not functioning when I got the car, but I got it replaced and it worked great!
Radiator busted and got it replaced at reasonable price.
Hard to open the trunk with a key. Easier if you release the trunk by the trunk release from the inside.
Hood won't open. Have to have someone to hold the hood up while I pull the hood release. Works fine if you put a screwdriver to keep the hood up while I pull the hood release too.
Cracked dash.
Hard to replace the headlight. Expensive headlight too.
I don't know about the radio. I am deaf, but been told it's not very good. But I never turn it on so who cares.
General comments?
Impressive acceleration.
Owned a Mustang and I have to admit, this Storm feels faster than the Mustang.
Make a sharp U turn easily.
Park anywhere you want in this tiny car.
Backseat is tiny, but I am the daily driver so I didn't care. Other than that, it's very roomy in the front!
Cruise at 120 miles per hour easily and very fast! I drive 3 hours one way to visit my friends every week and never a problem.
