1992 Geo Prizm from North America - Comments

I had to change the alternator around 150,000 miles.

The exhaust manifold needed to be changed around 120,000 miles. It had a crack in it.

Around 200,000 miles I could not pass inspections because of poor emission numbers. I tried many "remedies" but they did not work.

The ceiling cloth started to sag around 85,000 miles.

The plastic hardware (door and window handles, etc.), after 4 years of ownership, started to break.

This car was one of the most reliable cars that I ever owned.

The car has a manual transmission. It is very responsive. I never had to replace the clutch.

The Prizm has an incredible pick-up. It handled very well in traffic. I never had to be concerned about getting away from any eighteen wheelers.

I owned the car from 1993 to 2007, 14 years. I will be parting from it this year. I have not really used it for about eight months.

I have a new car now. I didn't want to spend the money to keep the Geo going after the 232,000 miles that it gave me.

That's stupid why would you buy a new car when you had that one? I'm sure it would have cost less to have the Prizm repaired than it did to buy whatever you bought.
