1997 Geo Prizm review from North America
"This car became known as "the tank"...reliable, safe, and probably one of the best cars out there!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear turn signal bulb replaced.
Driver's side rear door power lock temperamental - sometimes work/sometimes not.
General comments?
This was my first car and I absolutely loved it!
No major problems with anything on/in the car.
Comfortable interior, roomy for a mid-size car, I was able to move myself in and out of college with just this vehicle!
Handled great on snow/ice/slick conditions.
This car was amazing. I live in NW Ohio and have had to travel in pretty bad weather conditions. This car made it through them all. I was devastated when I got into an accident and my car was totalled, but even though it was hit in the front passenger side, there was minimal damage to actual engine. The interior of the car, including myself and valuable things inside my car were uninjured. Amazing automobile!
