1984 Pontiac Parisienne review from North America
"It's built like a tank!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both the driver side and passenger side windows stopped moving up or down.
The door handle (interior) to the passenger side door broke while trying to open the door one day.
I have a radiator leak, but can't find any signs of it.
My transmission leaks fluid, but can't find the leak.
Last year, a part that is part of the anti pollution system broke and since I was unable to find a suitable replacement, I had a friend of my father's weld together the old part.
General comments?
This car was at the end of a five car collision. I was thrust forward and had about 1/2 second to steer away from a suv that was in front of me.
I avoided hitting the SUV and the other four cars behind me suffered so much damaged that they had to be towed away.
My car got a small scratch on the back fender, so I drove my car home! 8-)
