1984 Pontiac Parisienne review from North America

The radiator needed to be replaced due to a severe leak.

All of the belts and hoses were replaced due to age.

The idle stove was burnt out and was replaced.

The A/C does not work.

The car has minor scratches and dents.

There is some rusting on lower part of the body.

The undercarriage is well rusted due to age.

This car comfortably seats 6-9 people.

The cabin is very roomy and very comfortable. The interior has not faded, and the dash has not cracked.

All of the gauges function properly.

The winters are no match for this unstoppable beast of a car. I had regular street tires on for the first winter, and no extra weight in the back, and with a little skilled driving, the car handled and drove perfectly.

This car is an absolute beast. The bumpers are strong and hold up to their job. I hit a guard rail at the local gas station, and the only mark left behind was a small black smudge.

The car is highly adaptable to electronics. I know nothing about car electronics, yet I was able to install a CD player, brand new 6"x9" speakers and brand new 5.25" speakers.

The car gets OK gas mileage. What it lacks in fuel economy it makes up for in repairs. Parts are generally available and easy to find. Parts are relatively inexpensive too.

The car has power locks, but manual windows.
