1990 Geo Prizm review from North America
"Best money I ever spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced valve seals at 245000 miles, no major engine trouble. Air Conditioner compressor froze up 4 years ago, replaced alternator once. Had one timing belt fail before its time, but it was a cheap belt. Best to use Toyota belts. Replaced one fuel pump. Headliner is gone, but this is Louisiana and they get real hot down here.
General comments?
I am amazed every time I start this car! I still get 30 mpg on the highway. I could stand to fix the a/c, but that is just me being cheap. The car still runs great! It does eat spark plugs and wires up a bit, but I can't complain!
