Lots of cars look good in the showroom. Prizm is not only designed to look good, but to provide you with secure, dependable transportation -- for years to come. To back up that promise, every Prizm includes a comprehensive GM 3-year/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty,** 24-Hour Roadside Assistance, and a standard safety package unrivaled by many cars costing thousands of dollars more.

94 percent of Prizm owners have said they'd recommend Prizm to a friend.* It's one of the reasons why the new 1999 Prizm is a very intelligent choice.

Money-Saving Features

A stainless-steel exhaust system, long-life engine drive belt and extended-life engine coolant are just a few of the features that make Prizm so easy to own.

Long-Lasting Good Looks

Prizm is more than just another pretty car. You’ll immediately notice the high standards of "fit and finish." To keep Prizm looking sharp for years to come, anti-chip paint protects the lower doors and the front hood edge. Plus, available alloy wheels are specially coated.

24-Hour Roadside Assistance
If you need assistance changing a tire, if you lock your keys in your car or if you just need directions, help is a phone call away. Just call 1-800-CHEV-USA. Some services may incur costs. See your dealer for details.

Impressive Fuel Efficiency
Prizm doesn’t sacrifice fuel efficiency for power. The estimated 1999 EPA fuel economy is 31 city, 37 highway with the standard 5-speed manual transmission.

DOHC Performance

Thanks to an advanced 16-valve, dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) engine design, you’ll enjoy quick response at city speeds and smooth passing power on the highway. Horsepower is 120 at 5600 rpm.

Occupant Protection Features

Every Prizm is equipped with dual air bags, front and rear head restraints (outboard); and safety-cage construction (including steel side door beams and front and rear crush zones).There are also child-security rear-door locks, and front safety belts with safety belt pretensioners and force-limiters. Upon air bag deployment during a frontal impact, the safety belt pretensioners tighten instantly to remove slack. The safety belt force-limiters help keep chest loads from becoming excessive, reducing the risk of injury. All three rear-seat occupants have lap/shoulder safety belt protection, and a rear child safety seat is optional in LSi Sedan. Optional on all models: side-impact air bags for the driver and front passenger.

Side-Impact Air Bags

Optional side-impact air bags on both the driver and front-passenger side work with the vehicle’s body-side structure to help reduce the risk of injury to front-seat occupants’ rib and chest areas in side impacts, such as those that can occur in some intersection collisions.

Rear Child Safety Seat
Prizm LSi provides the perfect fit with an optional rear child safety seat (Prizm is one of the few cars in its class with this option).
