1991 Pontiac Sunbird SE review from North America
"It is a great first car for a teen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In my Sunbird I have had a lot of problems. It cost $1700 to get on the road when it was first purchased.
Three months later it is costing me an arm and a leg to keep on the road.
The body had started to really get a lot of rust and the engine has had a lot of problems with it.
The coolant system sucks and the thing never stops leaking the air condition gas.
Most of the parts have been replaced more than once and things don't seem to stop happening.
General comments?
When the car isn't in the shop for repairs and is running good, the 3.1L V6 engine is quick and nice at its top end.
The car rides smooth, and will usually get you from point A to point B. The look is sporty with the SE and the cam adds a lot of sporting sound.
The interior isn't the most comfortable and has poor room in the backseat. The good thing with the front is the amount of room.
