2001 Chevrolet Prizm Base review from North America

A/C has stopped working.

Front tires worn out (my fault due to driving habits)

This car is absolutely amazing. I ran into this car after my 97 Dodge Neon died on the interstate on the way home from work on Christmas Eve '07.

I was intentionally seeking a Toyota product, specifically a Corolla. After having priced several Corollas, I came across this car and knew it was meant to be mine.

I have no problems with the car. Sure it's not as powerful as my Neon, which was only SOHC, but it sips gas and if you throw a cherry bomb exhaust on it, it's just as fierce as any Civic of that year.

The interior is so simple and plain; I love it.

This car does exactly what I want to do; nothing more and nothing less. It's definitely not luxurious, but it's just what I expected from a product of Toyota. (I ripped the Chevy badging off the front and back, so the only indication that it's a Prizm is the steering wheel.)

My only complaints are that yes, the car does burn oil, badly, and the AC is gone and I have put on getting it fixed because I'm lazy. But other than that, it's abilities are more than sufficient for me, and I look forward to having this till I'm 25, and way afterwards (by then my insurance will go down, and I can get a coupe!)
