1981 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham review from North America
"Fun to drive, a comfortable classic vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New brake discs installed at 140,00 km. Vinyl on the driver's side dash has cracked in the corner. Headliner has fallen and will be replaced this year. Localized areas of rust on driver's door.
General comments?
The car is a 17 foot boat that is very comfortable to drive. Pickup with the 4-speed automatic and the 305 c.i. V-8 is very good. Recent gas mileage on the highway (at 60 mph) was approximately 24 m.p.g. Power steering is easier to use than on my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. A classic car for summer cruises for sure.
Tinted windows make it look like a hit-man's car. For photos go to www.cardomain.com and check out tormont1981.
