1988 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"Great first-car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong at all, all it needed was a new windshield and an oil change when I got it. The only problem I have sometimes is starting it up, but it has always started for me. It just takes a little bit. Body is in GREAT condition, absolutely nothing wrong with interior or exterior. I have also noticed, however, that it is a bit harder on gas than other vehicles, but that comes with the size and weight, I suppose.
General comments?
I really like this car so far. It is extremely comfortable inside, easy to clean, has a nice factory radio/tape player in it. It is older, but the air conditioning is still working like a darn (heater, as well) and I like how it handles on turns and on gravel. I'm not a big fan of the brown interior, but I was willing to risk it for this car, as it is reliable and easy to maintain (although it does go through gas pretty quickly).
