Since I did purchase the car used, there were a few cosmetic items to be attended to (eg. turn signal lens cracked).
Also had to replace the rear speakers, the factory ones were history (probably due to 4-5 years of UV rays).
I couldn't be more pleased with the vehicle.
Performance is good with the manual 5 speed transmission, and obviously fuel mileage too, roughly 26-30 mpg so far.
Not many options, but I wanted it that way, fewer things to malfunction later down the line.
Air conditioning is ice cold, vehicle is easy to maneuver in traffic and park, and the engine compartment is logically laid out, items are easy to access and that's a big plus for shade-tree mechanics like myself.
I am the one who wrote this survey a little over 2 years ago, and would like to report NO problems whatsoever. Fuel, oil and that's it, this little guy is great! Just a update for anyone interested. My Prizm now has a little over 72,000 miles on it now. Larry.
