1999 Chevrolet Prizm review from North America
"Economy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side door handle cracked and broke, not my fault, I simply opened it one day and it broke off.
First two heater settings stopped working which means I have to have it cranked high or off.
Rear passenger side door lock doesn't work when I use the automatic locks.
General comments?
Great gas mileage, but simply uninspiring. Great for a commute, but I will be trading it in for something with more spunk.
Don't know why the little things keep breaking, but at least it drives fine.
