1991 Pontiac LeMans LE review from North America
"Ol' Faithful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My alternator went after 5 months.
Next was my starter, which I got from another LeMans that came with the one that I bought. It saved me 190 dollars.
Then it was my brakes. The pads were completely gone and my calipers were grinding against my rotors. It completely grinded through the whole rotor.
Then it was my water pump and CV axles.
And finally it was my head gasket.
General comments?
It's a very reliable car and it is great on gas mileage. I get around 35-38 miles per gallon.
Not the fastest Pontiac, but it gets me from point A to B.
It's a fun little car and it can burn out like a champ.
The sound system is awesome, and hits very hard. It's the only thing valuable in my car.
