A Classic by BeckyLynn from Winston-Salem, NC on 02/18/2011. Trim: 1996 Geo Prizm LSi, Owned more than 10 years.

One of the best vehicles I own. by Jim on 10/05/2009. Trim: 1996 Geo Prizm LSi, Owned 3 years.

Pros: It is a Toyota Corolla under the hood and paint. The doors all open after a head on collision(personal experience). A 96 engine with manual tranny swaps out perfectly with the 97 geo. With over 200,000 it still get 30-34mpg street and 35mpg+ highway. Alignment stays true.

Cons: Parts are getting harder to find.

Overall review: This has been one of the best vehicles I have owned.

I LOVE MY PRIZM by Diamond SMiles on 05/12/2009. Trim: 1996 Geo Prizm LSi, Owned more than 10 years.

Pros: I like nearly everything, but, I'd like more lumbar support. I had the base Prizm, which handled a collision extremely well. The crush zone did exactly what it was supposed to do. I replaced it since it was totaled for me by a woman running a red light, with the LSI.

Cons: As stated above, my only complaint is I'd like better back suppport. I have slightly over 85,000 mlles and bought it as a repo in 1997 with 9300.

Overall review: 9.5 because of my back problems.
