I got this car with 88300 miles on and I had the car about a week and the low battery light came on, but the dealership told me the owner before me had put a new one in before they gave it to the dealership so the alternator went bad and got that replaced. That is the only thing that went wrong with the car so far.
This car has great torque off the line which gives it good acceleration.
Since it is a automatic transmission its acceleration is limited to a point.
When I push the car to high speeds it takes forever to get it up to a hundred-ten miles per hour. I've beaten Nissan 300Zx's, eighties firebirds, and other imports in this car.
I love the way this car handles it has a really nice stick to the ground.
This is a good first car for someone to own. I get about 22 miles per gallon so it isn't bad on gas fillups.
The gas mileage should be better. When buying a used car all scenerios must be considered in order to make that happen such as spark plugs, fuel filter, tires, exc. "Smoking" a nissan 300zx is highly unlikely. Whoever it was didn't know how to drive. I think the only thing pontiac lacks is an optional manual transmission. GM is notorious for NOT giving what the customer wants. If they did, they wouldn't discontinue great vehicles such as the grand national, syclone, or camaro. When will they learn?
The non-turbo 300ZX is not a very fast car. I've beaten them in my old 1972 Plymouth Duster with the 318. Most late-model GM V-6's are adequate to beat a non-turbo 300ZX. The turbo version is faster, but the turbos were so unreliable that I doubt that any of them are still around now.
