1996 Geo Prizm review from North America
"Can't wait to buy my next one, but not willing to give this one up yet!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A couple tune ups, a/c belt, p/s belt, alternator blet in 2002 @ 70365 miles, a battery in 2003, a starter in 2003, a manifold gasket in 2005. Other than that, a few sets of tires and brakes a couple times.
General comments?
This car came from RI to NY as a lease. It has been to MS and NC 2x. It has also taken me and my family safe to GA, RI & Fla. It has been to the tri-state area tons of times. She has also been to Cape Cod several times. I LOVE this car. Anytime I was taking a long trip, I never thought twice about my safety, and that is priceless. Also, who want to steal a Geo? lol It is a generic car, but if your in it for safety and reliability as opposed to pretty buttons, she will be your best friend. I hope she is around long enough to give her to my son in a couple yrs. I have a feeling she will.
