1985 Pontiac Parisienne review from North America
"Just Like A Tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For the most part nothing too serious. The rear door is very sticky and requires a lot of effort to open. The door behind the driver has also became very hard to open, but we're in the process of fixing it. As expected for a car 18 years old, things like radiator, brakes, and suspension have had to been replaced.
General comments?
Unbelievable car! Like a tank, just keeps on going. Powerful engine has good get up n' go. Probaly the most reliable car ever built. When you sit behind the wheel, you just know that you will arrive safe where ever you're going. Very comfortable seating. When you sit in it it feels like a couch. Being able to fit 8 people, all with seat belts is very handy. This car has every option possible excluding leather. Power seats, windows, locks. Air, tilt, cruise. Anything you name, this car has. Unbelievable car!!!
