1988 Pontiac Sunbird GT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Surprisingly little!
The two major issues both have to do with air-flow and climate control.
The AC (evaporator core) developed a leak within 3 years.
The mesh guarding the entrance of airflow into the interior is prone to clogging.
General comments?
Amazing performance for a North American product. It is at 323,400 Kms and the engine (and turbo) are still performing excellently.
The body has started to rust a bit along the bottom of both doors as is usual.
Overall... a really super car! I wish they were still in production.
