1988 Pontiac Sunbird SE review from North America
"It's a great car if you want to draw little attention"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch replaced once.
Fuel pump relay failed.
Computer failed.
Water pump replaced twice.
Replaced Timing belt twice. Car has a clearance engine, no damage when the belt broke.
Driver and passenger window guides and seals wore out.
Upholstery and headliner replaced.
Headlight actuators failing.
Interior plastic fading and cracking.
General comments?
This car keeps me on my toes, but the cost of keeping it running isn't too much.
There's not too many of these cars on the road, and people take a look when they see one. (Why do they laugh?)
