1995 Geo Prizm Base review from North America
"Good Geo!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing besides simple routine items that wear down with time.
General comments?
This is a very well made car. In its time it was one of the better small cars on the market, however today its rather lacking compared to the newer cars on the road for instance the 1.6 four cylinder engine is very underpowered with its 105 horse power, its very hard to keep up with traffic, you have to floor the pedal constantly to keep up with everyone else. The most noticable flaw of this car has to be the automatic three speed transmission, it makes highway driving very tiresome, the engine drums loudly at speeds above 60mph. Paint is holding up well for a lower priced car. Interior is still in excellent condition. Overall good car for its age and mileage.
