1994 Geo Prizm LSI 1.6 from North America
Summary:
Solid car that will run for years and years
Faults:
Replaced starter.
Front tires wear out the sides faster than the middle, but with 227k miles, who can blame it?
Exhaust manifold is cracked, will need to replace it.
General Comments:
Super gas mileage.
Reliable.
Interior is nice for this type of car.
This was owned by a friend of mine for many years, and I just bought it from him with very high miles. It seems to show no real issues that would prevent me from running it another 50-100k miles.
Not fast, but peppy enough to get around.
Overdrive is nice, it keeps the revs down to about 2k at 65mph.
Easy to park and maneuver,
Pretty comforatble ride for a small car.
I think I got a heck of a bargain.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Bought this car two years ago and thought time for an update. Car now has 97,500 miles (12,500 miles in 2 years). Replaced rear tires at 87,800 miles; replaced timing and alternator belts, 89,400 miles; repaired passenger door release, 90,300 miles; and replaced oxygen sensor, 95,700 miles. Of course, also changed oil and filter, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, wiper blades, and air filter -basic maintenance. The interior of this car still looks great, and the car is still a joy to drive. Gas mileage runs 35-39 mpg. I bought this car on Ebay for a $1,200 - I love my Prizm!
