“I have had a 2000 chevrolet prizm and now someone threatened my life to force me to buy a 2001 chevrolet prizm. The windows of these cars fog up too severe to drive in minor or major rain and freezing rain.”

“My 2001 chevrolet prizm has been burning oil since around 60-70k miles and has only gotten worse. Chevrolet didn't build the engine right and the rings/heads I think need replaced (what I read on).”

“I got this car a year and half ago and it worked ok. But now it is eating oil like crazy. And also when I try to accelerate it hesitates and wont move forward. It has almost caused me to have 3 wrecks.”
