Replying to: tonylee (Nov 27, 2006 3:31 pm) Hi, I'm having what sounds like a similar problem with a 1997 prizm. Did you ever figure out what was wrong? Replies to this message: bitpoh (Dec 09, 2007 10:34 am)

Replying to: mankind117 (Nov 29, 2007 7:21 pm) Ditto. Same problem on my wife's 96 Prizm and it is driving both of us nuts, especially now that the weather is colder. Has anyone figure anything out yet? I read of some of the earlier posts in this thread, which associated vibration and idle with engine mounts. Is this the same problem here?

#33 of 35 Engine vibration by prizmlover Mar 17, 2008 (6:50 am)
I have owned my 95 prizm for 9 years. Bought it in '99 with 40k and it now has 148k. It has vibrated since the first day I owned it, with very little change. My exhaust guy told me it was probably engine mounts and so I have ignored it since. Otherwise the car has been the most reliable and best handling car I have ever owned. Looks like this problem is pretty common, but does not seem to be too serious. At least in my own experience so far. Here's hoping I can get another 100K out of it without trying to fix this problem, which seems for some reason to be unfixable. I like reading in this forum. Please keep the comments and questions coming. I have learned a lot about the car, even after owning one for a while, and thinking (smugly) that I knew it all. Thanks .

Replying to: uraspaz88 (Dec 09, 2006 10:32 am) i can tell you that any tires you put on a prism will not help in the snow our cars are so light it's pathetic.but if you can look for some 14" rims you can run a slightly wider tire for more traction you can go from a P175/70R13 to a P185/65R14 and it will not affect your speedometer.
