1993 Pontiac Trans Sport SE review from North America
"Has comfort, speed, versatility and looks but the poorest reliability I've ever encountered"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace:
2 water pumps.
3 alternators.
2 starters.
General comments?
It seems I was fine while the warranty was in place, but here I am in the midst of getting rid of this cash drain. The last straw (I am such a patient man) was alternator #3.
