1989 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD review from North America
"Great car, too bad they didn't make more!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace rear disc calipers (2).
Replaced original muffler, water pump @ 100,000 miles.
General comments?
Great car, bought it as we were going to start a family. Needed a safe, reliable car, and a type of car that could get us through any weather!
This car ended up being fantastic, features included auto-load leveling, rear compressor has a connection to inflate your own tires! The Pontiac emergency kit that came with it included; hose, pressure gauge (with attachments in to inflate other things such as beach balls, foot balls etc), raincoat, gloves, glow sticks, and even a window scraper!
This car has never let us down. The All-Wheel Drive has always served well, and the electronic all-wheel lock (for extreme emergencies.. ie snowed in due to street plowes) always got us through.
Features/Specs
Exterior came in red and blue only.. I got the red. Factory fog lights, day-time running lights (with automatic on/off sensors), four wheel discs with ABS, gold trim package, and premium gold/silver wheels.
Interior came in grey with a captains chairs, fully automatic, Delco ARS stereo-cassette with equalizer, electronic telescoping antenna (CD optional), leather tilt steering wheel (all stereo push button controls on wheel, including mute), cruise control, power windows etc..
