1991 Pontiac Trans Sport review from North America
"Dependable... but please read on"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replaced 3 times.
Many plastic interior parts, such as hood, brake release and turn signal arm have broken. But who needs them anyway?
Door handles have broken or come apart on the driver, passenger and sliding door.
Gas gauge is a crap shoot, better use the trip odometer or enjoy the walk to the next gas station.
General comments?
I purchased this van knowing it had been in a minor collision. It has held up fairly well except for the poor design of the handles which break easily.
The 3.1 engine is a dog. I give myself plenty of time when pulling out in traffic.
Like a good marriage I have learned to live with its faults and appreciate its dependability.
