1990 Pontiac LeMans GSE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery (original Delco Remy faded after almost 9 years of service).
Alternator brushes.
CV boots at 185000 km.
Wiper motor.
General comments?
This car is cheap and modern.
Petrol consumption is a bit high with comparison to my previous Nissan.
I have had it for almost 4 years and have done more than 100000 km in various conditions and have never had any major trouble.
This car definitely lacks comfort, but is not bad otherwise.
Engine runs smoothly and can certainly outperform many Japanese imports.
