1996 Geo Prizm LE review from North America
"An exceptional car. I would buy 3 more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the starter at 78000 miles, guzzles oil like water, now in the shop for distributor at 138000 miles.
General comments?
Besides burning quite a bit of oil, this car is a dream.
It has taken me on numerous road trips that extend over 1000 miles twice a month and has been the most reliable car I've ever owned.
Great gas mileage, almost no maintenance costs along with a price tag that cannot be beat.
Been in a few fender benders where bumpers and doors should have fallen off The exterior held up beautifully.
Been parked in the sun every day since I've owned it and the paint looks like brand new.
