1990 Pontiac Tempest review from North America
"An excellent, safe, and relaible car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Breaks need replacing
CV joints are wearing out.
The wiring to the CD deck was VERY difficult to figure out. I had my whole dash pulled apart for at least a week.
Faulty wiring to the interior lights. They only work if you unscrew them from the roof.
General comments?
This car is amazing! The v6 engine makes it fairly cheap on gas and quick on the get-go. Very smooth performance.
I have very high mileage on this car, and still no leaks of any kind. It runs like new.
I only spent $495 on this car, but it was well spent! It is a great winter beater. Safe, reliable, and cheap.
