2000 Chevrolet Prizm review from North America
"It's a dependable car that I fully expect will reach 250,000 to 300,000 miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It is leaking oil slowly (leaking, NOT burning).
It needed new brakes at 99,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has a lot of pep.
It's fun to drive.
It gets great gas mileage -- 34 to 36 mpg highway.
It handles very well in snow and on ice.
It has zero rust (and I live in a northern climate).
It's smaller than our 1996 model, making it not so comfortable on long trips with a family of four.
