1989 Pontiac GTA review from UK and Ireland
"The GTA (89) is a grade A tourer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has been really good except for an after market alarm that kept draining the battery, but this alarm has now been re-installed properly.
The seat belt restraint is uncomfortable as it feels like it is strangling me, but I feel I may have to look at the tensioner.
General comments?
This car is my second Firebird, the first being a 1984 5 speed manual Trans Am & it is like driving a different car in the fact the handling is more pleasurable.
The interior is the leather option which is very nice & comfortable.
The general cockpit styling is more refined & unless you have a leather upholstered Recaro 84 option the seats in the GTA are a world apart from the 84 Trans Am.
The GTA is super super fast & has that V8 rumble you always want to hear without being too obtrusive.
