1985 Pontiac 6000 6000STE review from North America
"I like a car that has balance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air conditioner stopped working at 120,000 miles.
The drivers information module quit working at 220,000 miles.
General comments?
I like the overall balance of the car. It handles well, accelerates well, rides well, stops very well, and is well equipped.
It handles well, such that I can take turns much quicker than many other 'sports sedans'.
The STE came with four wheel disc brakes, so it stops really well.
Inside, the car has plenty of room for five people to sit comfortably.
When I used the cruise control, I got decent gas mileage (28-30), like the time I drove to Phoenix.
The 6000STE is very well equipped; it came with a/c, p/s, p/b, p/w, p/door locks, cruise, and an am/fm/cassette with a graphic equalizer.
