2000 Chevrolet Prizm Base review from North America
"Commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter has failed.
Weather stripping around door on inside is peeling.
Paint on rear bumper is cracked.
Seems to wear tires quickly.
Front shocks are about shot.
Brakes squeal even after brakes have been changed.
Wheel covers have cracked and Chevy logo has worn off.
Trunk leaks.
Hesitation on start off.
General comments?
This car is reliable and pretty good on gas. That's about it though, this thing is boring and very generic. It blends in with everything on the road I don't think this model has any personality at all. The previous models seems to have a little, but this one lost everything. It doesn't have a quick take off and thanks to the 3-speed transmission the gas mileage isn't that great on the interstate. I'm not really complaining the car does what its suppose to do with no problems it just boring compared to a lot of the new cars that are coming out now.
