In the year of 1999, my mother and I paid for a used 1997 Geo Prizm (Chevrolet Prizm after 1997). The Geo Prizm is part of a Toyota Corolla. Today in the year of 2007, I am still driving that wonderful car. It is just right for me. I am a small person, and it is a small car. Squeezing into parking spaces is a whole lot easier than trying to park with a big car. Driving that Geo Prizm feels so smooth. The car doesn’t drink a lot of gas. You can ride a long distance away on a trip before you get low on gas.

The one thing that I worry most about is it has a timing belt instead of a timing chain. A timing chain will last longer. At every 60,000 miles, I have to get a timing belt replacement according to the car manual. So far the car has never let me down. I think the Geo Prizm will last me some more years keeping the oil changed and just taking good care of it. The Geo Prizm is a great car to buy.
