1989 Pontiac 6000 LE review from North America
"It is a gas guzzling tank that needs to be repaired too much"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has had an ongoing problem with a leaky gas tank.
I have had to replace the gas tank once because it was almost rusted out underneath.
Shifts smooth for a little while after getting a new transmission, but then it jerks really bad going into gear.
The gas mileage is very bad, the best I have gotten is 28mpg on the highway, that's Canadian gallons.
The car smells of gasoline very strongly, especially after driving for a couple hours.
General comments?
It has good acceleration except for the jerky shifting.
It handles around turns OK, so long as they are not very sharp and you aren't over 80 kilometers per hour.
