1997 Geo Prizm EX review from North America
"The best car I've ever had. I love it."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Piston connecting rod broke at 148,000 miles.
General comments?
I spent months deciding on what car to buy. Thanks to Consumer Reports. The Geo Prism is a spectacular car. Reliable, comfortable, smooth, quite, solid. It's plain, but with some nicer wheels and some new paint, and Satellite Radio, it's be sweeter than before. Having a engine and a new clutch put in. The old clutch is fine, but worn down about 50% and the labor to replace it is free.
