2001 Chevrolet Prizm

Pros: Great performance for its class, reliable, roomy for its size, and more.

Cons: It is a 3 speed transmission and doesn't have overdrive.

The Bottom Line: This car is a solid car, it is in its own class in the line of small Sedans.

Review: I have returned to update my review on the Chevy Prizm on October 25th of 2006. My Dad bought me a used Chevy Prizm for 8000 dollars back when I was a sophomore in high school in 2002. It has been a great car. Performance: This is actually one of ...

Pros: Fuel-efficient, Realiable, Affordable

Cons: Poor emergency handling, rough over bumps

The Bottom Line: Yes! This car packs a lot into a small package!!!

Review: What is a Chevy Prizm? First off, It's not really a Chevrolet, but more an American built Toyota Corolla. But the funny part is, it's not manufactured by either Chevy or Toyota. This compact sedan was manufactured from 1998-2002 by a small auto ...

Pros: very reliable, good engine, and many more things

Cons: none

Review: Many people in my family have Chevy Prizms. I have one,my wife, my brother, my parents, and my grandparents all own a chevy prizm. The Chevy Prizm is clearly a great car and a smart buy. It is cheaper than a Corrolla, I had a choice of either buying the ...

Pros: fantastic gas mileage, four-door, big trunk, roomy engine, good atmosphere

Cons: slow, slight to turn, pricy for age

Review: This car is my baby! It gets absolutely amazing gas mileage. So far it has been virtually maintenance-free. Its size is good in front or back and the four-doors make it very accessable. The engine compartment is very roomy, and it's not exceedingly low ...

Pros: Good MPG, good engine power, good quality

Cons: Small, considering that my teen's taller than me...but then, that's my fault, not the car's!

Review: I bought my Prizm as a used car in 2003. I was prompted to do so, because I was in the market for a Toyota. My mechanic/longtime friend is a Toyota specialist, and Toyota is his final answer. I took him with me on my search, and I saw a Corolla and the ...

Pros: Fuel efficient, roomy enough, long lasting.

Cons: Horrible road noise.

Review: I bought this car brand new in 2001 and am still driving it and it's almost 2008. It has been a good car for me. No major problems. ...

Pros: Small turning radius, good gas mileage

Cons: Could be more powerful, speedometer quit at 14,000 miles

The Bottom Line: It made great u-turns, adequate power up hilly country. Speedometer quit at 14,000 miles.

Review: We were 1700 miles from home and we needed a car that would take us about 2500 miles in two weeks, economically. We rented a car from National Car Rental. My husband chose this car because it so closely resembled a Toyota and thought perhaps it was...

Pros: Comfortable drive, Good engine performance for a sub-compact

Cons: High priced, too closely imitates the Corolla, box-shaped

Review: 2001 Chevrolet Prizm catches your eye? Look again. This Chevrolet needs significant re-tooling in order to compete with the heavily competitive sub-compact market.

Working part-time at my uncle's dealership does have its benefits...

Pros: Rides smoothly

Cons: Burns oil, no room, uncomfortable

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this car. I have just had too many problems with mine.

Review: My husband and I decided to go in 2001 and buy our first brand new car. It had 20 miles on it. What a mistake that was! We didn't buy the extended warranty. Another mistake! This car started making a ticking noise not to long after we bought it. Not to ...

Pros: It was fuel efficient until the engine problems started, now it's MPG has dropped substantially.

Cons: $3000 - $5000 repair job.

Review: The engine is prone to sludge build-up, resulting in excessive engine oil usage -- up to 2 quarts per week. The engine leaks from the top part of the engine as it cannot drain to the lower part of the engine. There is no repair kit, and dealers are ...
