1992 Pontiac LeMans SE review from North America
"A very big bang for the buck, love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My timing belt went.
Rear brake adjusters seized.
The clutch bailed in it at 165000.
All four axle boots were torn.
The front left wheel bearing went.
The wiring to the heater motor shorted out.
The blower switch fried.
Tie rods are now gone in it.
Put new exhaust system on.
General comments?
This car is really a lot of fun to drive, although it does lack horsepower.
It is very temperamental as to how smooth it runs from one day to the next.
There is absolutely no heat in the winters.
This car handles like a sports car and is very good on gas.
I can't get enough of it, although the problems its had, I can't stop fixing it.
