1996 Geo Prizm L review from North America
"This is the best small car available"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very few things have gone wrong with this car other than general maintenance. At 255,000 miles, I had to have some gaskets replaced to fix and oil leak.
The driver's side seat belt jams in damp weather.
The headliner started coming down at 255,000.
General comments?
The reliability of this car is tremendous. Too have so few problems with so many miles is outstanding.
I have never had the clutch worked on.
