Summary:

Best car ever made

Faults:

Nothing except the altenator, but that seems to be a big problem with these cars.

General Comments:

I love the economy and the style that this car offers and the ride is excellent - so smooth you would think you were driving a much more expensive car.

A lot of get up and go, when you press the gas you get results not the usual loud noise and then nothing, the Prizm really kicks in and gets on up there in speed, you can cruise on the interstate going 75-85mph in complete silence, the engine is so refined and quiet.

Summary:

Smooth ride

Faults:

A single fuse blew.

General Comments:

I think that this is my favorite car that I have ever owned. I've never seen a small car like this, it has leather seats, power sunroof and a CD player w/cassette.

This car rides so smooth it's unreal, when I bought it I was thinkng it would be like my 1991 Prizm but no way, this thing takes it to a new level. It's even got rims with Geo in the center!!!!

Summary:

Can't kill it!

Faults:

Passenger side CV joint went out.

General Comments:

This car has been through pure hell and back, both of my children have driven it roughly. It's been wrecked twice, it's been ran through bushes and ditches at speeds of 60+. And some how it keeps going and going. We figured this car would have been dead long ago, but no, it just keeps cranking everytime. All I've got to say, if all Geo cars are this way, Go Geo!

I am trying to decide what type of car to buy for my first used car. My choices are between a 1992 Geo Tracker with 94,000mi or a 1995 Geo Prizm with 110,000mi. I live in Boston where the winters can be rainy and snowy so that needs to be taken into consideration. Since you have owned both, what would you suggest? Thanks for any help you could give me!

I would go with the geo prizm. I own a 95 geo prizm and I think its great in the snow. It's a good front wheel drive car and it is great to beat on.

I Agree. My first and second (Current at time of writing) were both 95 prizms great buys. Never did any maintence on my first one, but had to junk it cause I didn't replace the tires and totaled it. second one seems good too still getting to know it though.

I also have a GEO Prizm. I commute 60 miles a day (For the past 10 years). Through the years my wife has driven a Saturn (dead), Nissan 240 (LEMON), a Ford (sold it, too many repairs), and currently owns a Jetta (that's been in the shop 4 times in the past 3 yrs).

The only thing I have done to the GEO is change the alternator and battery and it's never been in the shop.

The joke at home is that I will die before the car. :)
