#274 of 1315 2001 Prizm by taurus2 Sep 06, 2000 (8:22 pm)
Will the 2001 Prizm get a re-freshing? I checked out the Chevrolet Web site and It looked the same.

that Corolla in those pictures makes the one we have now look like crap. Why does the U.S. always get the shaft when it comes to good global cars?
#276 of 1315 The one we have now by denniswade Sep 08, 2000 (3:27 pm)
was designed in Japan, and the European version looks worse. Don't worry, our version will look as good or (hopefully) better. I don't mind the front end treament, I just don't like the high profile and those wimpy wheelwell openings. It makes the car look like a transportation appliance instead of something you wanna get in and DRIVE. The interior is gorgeous, though.
#277 of 1315 Breaking in my 2000 Prizm by carlvr1 Sep 10, 2000 (3:27 am)
I bought a new '00 Prizm about 4 months ago. It just sat around for a while though while I knocked out the last few miles on my 1984 Chevy Cavalier (it had 140,000). I sold my Cavalier then for $400 and started driving my new Prizm for work a few months ago. I drive a route for my company and I put on about 4-5000 miles a month. My Prizm now has 8,000 miles on it and it runs like a clock. I enjoy spirited (hard and fast) driving very much and my Prizm with it's vvt-i engine delivers without a missing a beat. Even after the torture I put this car thru, the idle is still silky smooth and the car rides and handles great. The only minor thing I have noticed is significant fade in the brakes after extensive use of them. I also average 30mpg with the 3-speed automatic. I see the news that Chevy is getting rid of the Prizm in 2002. Too bad, because it seems to be the most reliable car in their stable so far.
#278 of 1315 typical GM by regfootball Sep 10, 2000 (5:42 am)
do everything in their power to not have to sell GOOD cars. They'd much rather sell hump-back NASCAR wanna-be's (Monte Carlo's), poor man's Lexus LX wanna-be's (Escalades), and hermaphrodite van/SUV's (Aztek). They abandon and fail to update potential gold mine car lines like the Impala SS, and Camaro, so they can divert resources to building cars no one really gets excited about.
#279 of 1315 '98 prizm check eng light by jmarque Sep 11, 2000 (5:08 pm)
just bought a '98 prizm, 3 spd auto with 28k. have now taken it in to the dealer (still under warranty) for the 3rd time for this "check engine" light. 1st time they said "replaced transmission switch." 2nd time "adjust parking gear lever." waiting to see what 3rd time yields. anyone had similar problem or suggestion i could pass on to the dealer?
#280 of 1315 Gas Cap by shi Sep 14, 2000 (2:24 pm)
I have a 2000 Prism. On the gas cap, a car usually has a gas cap and a spring loaded "flap". On mine the "flap" is not there. Dealer told me there is none for the 2000 Prism. Should I believe them? Do you guys see this also?
#281 of 1315 . by regfootball Sep 14, 2000 (10:51 pm)
no flap, but there is a nifty slot on the fuel door for your gas cap when you take it off. Try it next time. Fits real nice but is sometimes subject to falling off. Most would agree a tether is better.

I have a 2000 5 - speed Prizm, with cruise. When I come to a full stop the cruise completely cancels out and will not resume when I get back up to highway speed, and I have to reset it. The dealership tells me this is the normal design. Other vehicles I've had will resume on command. I think I'm getting a hose job? Or are they right?
#283 of 1315 Long Live the Prizm by doug_x90 Sep 15, 2000 (4:43 am)
If Calty is designing the face-lift for the next Prizm, then we are in very good hands. Although not the same class as this car, they did an incredible job with the '00 Celica. If GM ditches the Prizm eventually, it is 100% their loss. Somehow, I think we will always be able to buy a Corolla. I don't see Toyota canning the undisputed, bulletproof, King of Reliability.
