1985 Pontiac 6000 review from North America
"Good car, too bad its production has been discontinued."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition control module went out twice.
Brake lines had to be replaced.
Power steering system leaks.
Occasional carburetor issues. One recent problem: when the engine is cold, when attempting to start the engine, it generally gets flooded, which is pretty annoying. Did anybody else experience this?
Replaced windshield washer fluid pump.
Transmission is getting jerky, probably on its way out.
General comments?
Cheap transportation.
Reliable.
Comfortable.
Roomy.
Versatile.
