Pros: Toyota quality, yet cheaper than Corolla, very good performance, comfort and amenities.
Cons: Tight back seat, mpg not thrilling, road noise at highway speeds.
Summary: We leased this 1998 Prizm new after pricing Corolla's. Toyota had so many trim levels and option packages that it reminded me of american cars of the 1960's. Chevy, on the other hand, had just two models: LSI and the Prizm Sedan. We opted for the sedan ... read more

Pros: Performance, Handling, Control Layout, Safety
Cons: Legroom
Summary: I purchased this vehicle because I was going to drive to Alaska and I didn't think my old car, a 1988 Toyota Camry, would make the trip. I was quite impressed with my Toyota's performance, and I loved the reliability, so I decided to try and purchase ... read more

Pros: ...Lots of space, good value, nice interior...
Cons: ...seats get uncomfortable after a few hours...
Summary: ...When my girlfriend had me drive her Chevy Prism (formerly Geo Prism), I must admit that I had low expectations. In recent history, I've been spoiled with Japanese engineering, and my last memories of an American car were a not-so-well-equipped ... read more

Pros: Great gas mileage, fun to drive, reliable

Summary: This is my second Prizm. I got the very last of the Geo line with my second purchase and once again, I am not disappointed. Both times I bought the manual. It's fun to drive and is completely reliable. The only time (besides regular maintenance) that ... read more

Pros: Great car for the $$
Cons: It is a sedan...I want a coupe, but need 4 doors
Summary: In 1998, I found my self in need of a 4-door car--putting a 1 yr old in the back of a 2-door just got to be too difficult. I looked around and against my first instinct, I bought the 1998 Chevy Prism. It had been made by their GEO line in the past and I ... read more

Pros: Toyota quality, Toyota engine, economy on gas & insurance, roomy trunk, lots of good options, competitive price
Cons: Not for tall people, non-LSI is too spartan, not enough power to drag race
Summary: Drivers looking for speeding tickets or for the thrill & danger of a Porsche or Corvette will not be interested in this car. Anyone who wants real value for a small car, however, should be interested in the Chevrolet Prizm.
This used to be a ... read more

Pros: front and side airbags available, good handling, economical
Cons: cramped for more than two adults, trunk doesn't have a remote open
Summary: We bought the 1998 Chevrolet Prizm about this time last year. We had a Geo Prizm back in 1991 and were very happy with it. By researching, we discovered that the Prizm and the Toyota Corolla are basically the same car. Generally, we avoid Chevrolets ... read more
