Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car. Not even routine maintenance has been needed.
The air conditioning is extremely effective and rapid.
The paint tends to crack and break off easily.
It does not handle well in the snow, as my 1990 Prizm did.
It handles quite well, but lacks power.
Gets great gas mileage, at least 32 miles to the gallon, but I have never measured exactly.
I find it comfortable on long drives, although my taller passengers get stiff legs.
I had a 2000 Prizm that was totaled in an accident during which it hit a concrete guard and rolled over. Amazingly, the car frame held up, especially the roof, and my child and I climbed out of that upside down wreckage with only minor scratches (from the broken glass). Very impressive performance from an inexpensive compact car.
