1991 Pontiac Firefly Reviews - Page 2 of 3

This has been a wonderful vehicle. Only average wear and tear have gone wrong with it. All mechanical parts are original.

A fun, reliable vehicle.

Very cheap to drive and maintain.

Gets a lot of positive comments from women in particular.

Reminds me of the old 1950's style Nash Metropolitan.

Seriously underpowered with the automatic, and passing a vehicle is an adventure in motoring!

Since I've owned it (which hasn't been long) nothing has gone wrong. The things that are wrong with it are:

-Hood popper handle's hinge is broken

-The interior light switches for the doors don't work

-Antenna can't be retracted

-Cracks in driver's seat

The previous owners didn't have any problems with it.

One of the finest cars ever made in my opinion. It's a Suzuki marketed by GM. Fun to drive, excellent on gas, reliable, fairly comfortable, and good cargo space. They're fairly zippy cars - only 55hp, but weighs only 1700lbs. Even with 197,000km, mine still gets 56 miles to the imperial gallon. With the rear seat folded down there's lots of cargo space. The driver and front passenger don't feel cramped. Lack of sound insulation is the only weak point of this car - highway driving is a bit noisy.

In twelve years of owning this vehicles nothing has gone wrong with it.

I have replaced only wear and tear parts. e.g. tires, top, brakes, muffler/exhaust system.

I still get many positive comments about my convertible. It is fun to drive, very cheap to run, has never let me down in any way, and is one of my favorite vehicles that I have ever owned. It is seriously underpowered, especially with the automatic, and it is most unsafe in an accident. We get a lot of snow here, and it has never become stuck. Traction is terrific!

Transmission and clutch are a little light duty. Got a new clutch tranmission, throat bearing, differential. Got a used tranny, new everything else for I think $12000 installed so that's not too bad. Replaced all at once around 200000. Still running good today though the clutch is about half gone, and the tranny is started to do the same thing as the old one, but if it lasts me to 300000 I will be happy.

Usually things start to go after you rack up lots of miles. Around 180000 the gaskets started to leak around the engine, seat looked a little worn, put new tires on it.

This is a really good cheap car. It is really reliable and gave me lots of warning signs that the clutch and tranny were starting to go. This is a good family car and it's not very good on hills like all small lower powered cars. I would recommend this car to a teenager since it's cheap, easy to fix and doesn't go too fast. I also recommend this car for a single guy or gal who just putts around town.
