1990 Geo Prizm 1.6 L from North America
Summary:
This is a terrific car at a bargain price
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with the car since we have owned it, except the headliner which is starting to sag.
Regular maintenance can easily be done by DIY. Since nothing breaks, repair costs are a minimum.
General Comments:
This is my wife's car and she truly loves it. The car sits outside all year here in Wisconsin and it always starts and runs smoothly for her. Handling is precise and nimble and goes through the snow with ease. Reliability and ease of use rate very high with her.
After 11 years it's still tight with no rattles or creaks.
I find the comfort, practicality and cost of ownership of the car make it a very good vehicle for urban use. A high percentage of my neighbors have this model or its sister, the Toyota Corolla, and are logging upwards of 300,000 miles of trouble-free driving. I am very glad I bought this car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Hey, my name is Chris and I have a turbo set up in my Geo. I had to custom fabricate a few things, like the header, charge pipe, down pipe, air filter, and exhaust. The up side is that a Garret t25 turbo fits in quite nicely, and if you wanted I could build a header and the rest of the goodies for you. Email me if you're interested at chris_7teen@hotmail.com.
