1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE review from North America
"A great mileage car which is very reliable when treated right."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belts have loosened a couple times, so fan wouldn't cool.
Alternator went out once.
Coolant fluid tended to keep going down, leaks kept occuring (recently).
Have gone through four lifetime warranty mufflers.
Tape deck shakes at 70 MPH.
General comments?
This car is reliable and won't die.
Gets excellent gas mileage, have had up to 38 miles per gallon.
Body of car looks like new. Has no rust and still shines, with regular maintenance.
Would drive this car state to state with no worries.
However, it's a three passenger car comfortably. Back seat has little room.
Great college car or work car!
