The 2003 and 2000 Prizm earns four stars from the NHTSA front crash tests for both driver and front passenger and is equipped with a comprehensive package of crash avoidance and child friendly features.
The quick steering response and overall solid feel that Angie applauds is the result of power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and front and rear stabilizer bars. Plus, variable-valve timing on Prizm's smooth dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) engine helps deliver power for passing and merging on the highway. So you'll have on-demand acceleration when you need it.
Not only is Prizm LSi as reliable as John Klingel attests, it delivers more than what you might expect from a small sedan.
Prizm's 5-speed manual transmission maintains exceptional fuel economy at 32 city, 41 highway MPG(1), beating competitors Ford Focus and Mazda Protégé.
