PEACH OF AN AUTO

My Chevy Prizm is such a well-maintained peach of an auto that my service people offer to buy it when I'm ready to sell. It's reliable, cost-effective, safe, and low on fuel consumption and mileage.

Awesome Vehicle!

This is a great car. It is dependable, peppy, great gas mileage, and easy to maintain. The engine is a Toyota engine and I know it will last me for many years. I am extremely please with this car.

This is plenty of room in the front and the back. It looks on the smaller side from the outside but plenty of room when you get into the car.
cost, rating 5.0 out of 5
Excellent gas mileage, does not need much maintenance. Just keep the oil changed regularly.
