My coworker actually just bought one of the Chevy Prizms (Prism?).
He was thrilled, then the door handle broke off of it. Then the AC died a week later. Then the rim bent on a small pothole...

Cost to repair all those things:
$145
$100 before 12:00 on Thursdays

New door handle, AC compressor, and rim & tire for $145? I highly doubt it.

I've had the same three problems with my 93 Geo Prizm.
What it actually cost me to fix:
1. Door handle breaking
$25 for non-OEM door handle off ebay, did the labor myself.
2. Air conditioner
$750 to replace the condenser (happened twice, so $1500 total)
3. Bent rim
tire still holds air, so never bothered to get it fixed
I get an honest 27 mpg around town on my Geo Prizm. Used to get almost exact 30/36 city/highway as EPA rated.
