2000 Chevrolet Prizm review from North America
"Toyota reliability with a Chevy name tag"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet!
General comments?
I bought this to replace the piece of junk 1995 Chrysler Cirrus just donated to charity (see my posting.."I was a dope...").
The Prizm is the same car as a Toyota Corolla, except with the Chevy name tag and a lower market value. I admit we have only had it for 3 weeks, but so far feel this may be a real sweet little car.
Not much in terms of excitement or power. But the car runs great, is very comfortable, easy to drive, and gets excellent MPG.
Everything works perfectly. For 112000 miles, it appears to have been well cared for. Oil was clean when we bought it and brakes were good. I had the trans serviced and bought two new front tires for safe measure. My college aged daughter drives it, and she loves it.
