1997 Geo Prizm LSi review from North America
"It's a workhorse in a small package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major has gone wrong with this car. Basic wear and tear is it! I have replaced the tires twice in almost 110K miles, windshield, and a front headlight from a collision which in my opinion should have caused MUCH more damage than it actually caused. All in all a very well put together car, starts every time in cold South Dakota weather and the AC runs like a champ each summer.
Rear drivers side power lock has become tight and won't budge from pushing unlock button.
General comments?
What a great car. No matter what life has thrown this cars way it has just kept on plowing through it, which in South Dakota winters can be a serious pile of the cold stuff.
Compared to other cars its size the ride/handling is very good (we also own a Saturn). It takes corners well and the brakes always stop me with plenty of room to spare.
Like other readers, "I just keep waiting for something to go wrong with this car" but nothing has and in my opinion nothing is on the horizon.
It's been a splendid car to be able to drive, still looks good inside and out.
