And remember, google is your friend. I found this:

First Gen Prizm:

1990-1992 Geo Prizm

from Consumer Guide®
by Consumer Guide

Highlights


Launched in February 1989 as an early '90 model, the subcompact flagship of Chevrolet's Geo line came in 4-door notchback or 4-door hatchback form. Prizms are similar to the Toyota Corolla. Standard engine on base Prizms, and those with the LSi option group, was a 102-horsepower, 1.6-liter 4-cylinder. Autumn 1989 brought a sporty GSi model wearing a rear spoiler and body-colored grille and bumpers, halting via 4-wheel disc brakes and propelled by a more potent version of the base engine.

Road Test Evaluation


Base-engine models actually qualify as quick with that stick shift, and the 102-horsepower engine is smooth. Three-speed automatic isn't too sluggish either, though you'll have to push the gas pedal hard when passing. Engine noise is only really bothersome at high speeds. Gas mileage, on the other hand, is sure to satisfy. For more vigorous motion, look for a GSi. With the more powerful engine, it moves out quickly and returns nearly the same gas mileage.

Prizms are agile and responsive in normal driving, though steering can grow twitchy. Expect plenty of body lean and little tire grip around any fast corner on the base model. Fortunately, ride quality is amazingly good as the soft suspension absorbs most bumps with ease. The GSi rounds corners with confidence, exerting little penalty on ride quality.

Space in the airy cabin is adequate, though not exactly generous. Front seats offer adequate room, but adults may balk at head/leg space in the backseat. Controls are sensibly laid out, and gauges legible, though lack of a tachometer option on first-year LSi versions is a drawback. Radios are mounted too low for easy operation. Trunk space in the 4-door is skimpy, but the 5-door has an ample cargo hold and a more convenient bumper-height opening.

Second Gen Prizm:

Many customers see the Prizm as the best of both worlds. It is primarily of Japanese origin, a very close cousin to the Toyota Corolla. Both cars are produced at the NUMMI assembly plant in Fremont, California, operated as a joint venture between Toyota and General Motors. So you get the benefit of some excellent Toyota components, and if Buy American is a priority, you've got that going for you, too.

There are two levels of Prizm, base and LSi, both 4-door sedans, both front-wheel drive. The differences between the two aren't really apparent unless you're in the showroom loading up your option list.

If you're looking for a little more power, then the LSi will probably be your choice, with a 1.8-liter engine that offers much stronger low-rpm performance. It was our choice for this report.

The differences between the Prizm and Corolla are small. They use the same chassis, suspension components and powertrain. There are also some noticeably Toyota-style design cues, like the rounded shape, the snake-eye headlights, the flush door handles and the way the door openings extended into the roof.

But there are subtle differences. Of the two, the Prizm is more of an American-looking car. It doesn't have the sassy, head-turning panache of the Chrysler Neon, but it's cute, practical and built to endure.

With the LSi, the model we tested, you'll get several other nice and very useful touches, including a tilt steering wheel and a center console. There are plenty of other options to dress up the otherwise Plain Jane interior, including the surprisingly popular leather seat package.

Intriguingly, you'll find the Prizm a bit lower-priced than a comparable Corolla. That says a lot about the mindset of buyers in this hotly competitive market segment. Even though it's essentially the same car, the Corolla typically earns a higher rating in most customer satisfaction studies, probably because Detroit hasn't been known for producing great compacts.
