1991 Geo Prizm GSi review from North America
"A well built, dependable, economic automobile that is quick and agile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ripped rubber boot on drive axle.
Faded paint.
Broken door handles and glove box.
Exhaust and muffler (Damn Michigan winters)
Erratic idle problem with cold engine at 160,000 miles (right now)
Leaking radiator.
Alternator went bad.
General comments?
Everything that required repair could be considered normal wear and tear considering Michigan winters, lack of a garage and driving it so hard.
Almost everyone who sat in the car found it surprising how "zippy" it was.
It handles nice, it's low to the ground and light.
It's great on gas which is nice during these times ($2.70/Gallon)
Lots of space in the trunk and the front seats are big enough, back seat is kinda crowded, but I never sit in the back so :)
