1993 Pontiac Sunbird LE review from North America
"Surprising performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leaked at about 75,000 miles, had to be replaced.
Water pump and coolant reservoir gaskets had to be replaced at 83,000 miles.
Alternator replaced at about 80,000 miles.
General comments?
Being a 2.0L I4 mated to a 3spd automatic transmission, you'd think this car would be very slow, but this is far from the truth, my little Sunbird zips around with pretty good acceleration for a four cylinder.
Stock stereo system was a little odd when replacing with a DIN sized deck, but with some creativity it worked out very nicely.
Currently my Sunbird is at a little over 83,000 miles and I hope she last for quite a bit longer.
These cars can be had at a very reasonable price if you look around. Mine was purchased for $2000.
