1994 Pontiac Sunbird LE review from North America
"Not a bad deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At about 95,000 miles, the heater core blew and I had to have it replaced.
I also replaced the thermostat.
At about 110,00 miles, the radiator blew and I had to have that replaced.
At the current moment, my car just cuts out on me. If I have the air on, it will shut off in about 5 minutes. If the air is off, I can drive for about 45 minutes to an hour, but if I get stuck in traffic or at a lot of lights, it will shut off. I'm not too sure what the problem is.
Also, the dash has separated just above the radio which is a bit annoying.
General comments?
The car has been reliable besides the current problem that I am having with it which is listed above.
It gets excellent gas mileage.
Although I think the car has been very safe, reliable, and economical, I would not buy another Sunbird.
