1985 Pontiac Parisienne review from North America
"Pretty darn dependable, great gas mileage, and cheap transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dash has Cracked.
Paint is Faded.
Rust has come Thru.
General comments?
Nothing has gone WRONG with the car, except some minor replacing of parts. Broke down once, found out it was a clogged fuel filter. Great gas mileage, my friend just bought a new ford focus, and I get better gas mileage than he does!
The car has some minor cosmetic damage. Paint has faded on hood, and there is rust on the car. The original top has no tears in it, or scratches.
Had to recently had to do a carb overhaul, new tires, and new exhaust.
Interior is extremely roomy, and comfortable, I am 6'5 and 230lbs, and there isn't too many cars I fit comfortably in.
Anyways, the car is a good old car, Its built well, even after 20yrs of abuse. Don't plan on selling it anytime soon. I would like to finish restoring the car as much as I can.
