1992 Pontiac Sunbird GT review from North America
"It's a great car if you can keep it rust free!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Body is in poor shape, lots of rust.
- Rust holes in the firewall, rain gets in and soaks the carpet.
- The sunroof leaked.
- Door hinges are rusting so the doors are starting to sag.
- Mufflers went and we couldn't find a replacement for the passenger side. It's set too close to the tire so I had to buy cherry bombs (basically straight-pipes) in order to get them to fit. Now it's loud and has a bit more horse power.
General comments?
It has great handling, the steering is nice and tight.
Can beat most sports cars (Daytonas, Civics, etc.)
The center console tends to shake at higher speeds.
The car's speedometer maxs out at 160 and the governor kicks in at around 180 km/h, so it's not too great for long distance races.
