1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE review from North America
"A reliable, fast little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The torque converter would not disengage (covered by the warranty)
Replaced the alternator at 185000.
Wheel bearings at 195000.
New rear brake drums at 195000.
Power steering tubing replaced.
General comments?
Very impressed with the power and acceleration. Beat a V6 Camaro and V8 Thunderbird in races. :)
Tranny holds the power well.
The car has some paint chips, but the rust is very very minimal for 205000 miles.
Wish I could afford a manual in it. That would seriously make it a much more fun car to drive.
Has custom wheels and an aftermarket spoiler for a more aggressive appearence.
