			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chevrolet Sprint Engine Specs: The Sprint Base comes outfitted with a  1.0 liter, 3-cylinder motor that uses 6 valves. The  engine, manufactured by Suzuki, is teamed up with a N/A 4-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.</p>
<p><span id="more-324"></span></p>
<p>Steering control is handled through a -steering -style configuration. The Sprint has drum-assisted brakes, with ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.   The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Sprint Base Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Sprint Base are 77.00 inches wide by 214.10 inches long.  It sits a comfortable 56.70 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  six passengers, with 2 doors.  The wheelbase of 115.90 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.</p>
<p>The standard warranty period for the Sprint is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first.  The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively.  This is standard in the sedan  market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $16,515 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of an industry-high price.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Sedan.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 1991 Sprint is a MPI design, running on gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 23.00 gallons.</p>
<p>The Sprint Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of  seventeen  in-city driving and  twenty six when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.</p>
<h3>In Summary</h3>
<p>The 1990 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Sprint.  The 1991 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Sprint Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

<p>When you think of the &#8220;Chevrolet Prizm&#8221; what will usually come to mind for Chevrolet enthusiasts is quality, stability and lots of history. The Prizm has been one of the premier vehicles of the Chevrolet line for over ten years. It is an important car and the 2001 model is no exception. The Chevrolet Prizm falls into the sedan for the family category.</p>
<p><span id="more-320"></span></p>
<h3>Under the Hood</h3>
<p>The restyled Prizm Base is equipped with a  1.8-liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes  16 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Borg Warner  five-speed transaxle.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2000 version.</p>
<p>The Prizm uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration.  The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Prizm Base are 66.70 inches wide by 174.20 inches long.  It sits  53.70 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  five passengers, with 4 doors.  The wheelbase of 97.10 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.</p>
<p>The listed retail price in 2001 (MSRP) was $16,220, with a dealer invoice cost of $14,955.  This price is on target the industry average price for a  four-door Sedan.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected">fuel system</a> for the 2001 Prizm is a MPI design, using gasoline fuel.  The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design.  The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 13.20 gallons.</p>
<p>The Prizm Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 28 - 31 in-city driving and 32 - 38 when it came to highway driving.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was within normal parameters.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet Prizm</h3>
<p>The 2000 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Prizm.  The 2001 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Prizm Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

<p><span id="more-319"></span></p>
<h3>Stop and Go</h3>
<p>The restyled Prizm LSi is equipped with a  1.8-liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes  16 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Borg Warner  five-speed transaxle.  This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1997 version.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Prizm uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>

<p>The 1998 Prizm gets 33 - 37 miles/gallon on the highway and only 28 - 31 in the city.  This is below average for a sedan car.</p>
<h3>Parting Shots</h3>
<p>The 1998 model year was very successful for the Chevrolet Prizm.  The introduction of several trim levels (along with the LSi version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.</p>

<p>The Prizm Base is equipped with a Toyota 1.8 liter  four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves.  The  engine is mated to a Borg Warner 5-speed Transaxle.  This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.</p>
<p>The 2002 Prizm&#8217;s standard  fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected MFI style of design. The fuel capacity of the car is 13.20 gallons.</p>
<p>The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.  Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Prizm uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The dimensions of the Prizm Base are 66.70 inches wide by 174.20 inches long.  It sits  53.70 inches off the ground.  It seats a standard  five passengers, with 4 doors.  The wheelbase of 97.00 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $16,395 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $15,116.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.</p>
<p>There is a 36,000 mile, 36 month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 36,000/36 miles/months.  This is normal for this price range.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The Prizm Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of 29 - 32 in-city driving and 33 - 41 when it came to highway driving.  Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was within normal parameters.</p>
<h3>What We Think of the Chevrolet Prizm</h3>
<p>The 2001 model began the promise of the Chevrolet Prizm.  The 2002 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets.  Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Chevrolet hopes that the Prizm Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.</p>

<p>Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Prizm has power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support.  The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum.   The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.</p>
<h3>Prizm LSi Statistics</h3>
<p>The Prizm is 174.20 inches long, 66.70 inches wide, and 53.70 inches high.  It has a wheelbase of 97.10 inches.  It is able to seat 5 comfortably.</p>
<p>A powertrain warranty is provided (36,000 miles/36 months), and a 36,000 mile, 36 month guarantee also comes with the Chevrolet Prizm.</p>
<p>The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $13,960 when new, with a dealer invoice cost  of $13,290.  This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.</p>
<h3>Fuel Efficiency</h3>
<p>The 2000 Prizm&#8217;s traditional  fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 13.20 gallons.</p>
<p>The Prizm LSi received a miles-per-gallon rating of 28 - 31 in-city driving and 32 - 38 when it came to long-distance.  Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
