1994 Geo Prizm LSi 1.6 from North America
Summary:
Perfect car for students and people that travel long distances
Faults:
I needed to replace the clutch at 195,000 miles. ($550)
The rear passenger side door will not open. This happened at about 210,000 miles.
The starter is now going. My brother is a mechanic and with a phone consultation with me he believes it is probably just the starter solenoid. The engine started to be inconsistent in turning over at about 215,000 miles, I have yet to replace the starter solenoid as the car will start after 2-3 cranks.
General Comments:
I love this car!
The gas mileage is great (35-40mpg).
It costs very little to maintain. As you can see from the previous section, all of the parts that have needed to be replaced have happened at a very high mileage.
I am going to drive this car until it refuses to go any farther!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Yeah, I am going to do the same. I love my Prizm. We have this special bond... kinda sad though. Washed regularly and I think I talk to it and hug it when I put crappy Arco gas in it because of the prices right now, so I apologize and it is a great car, and I love everything about. I like the body style of the 94 Prism over the 94 Corolla.
