"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.

My little Sunbird has a 2.0l in it 5 speed and its the fastest car on the road around my house. It is a sweet car itll go around 135 mph. I haven't lost a race yet in it. But I've also heard of parts goin wrong that should not. My friend has one that blew up after 2 weeks.

I'm afraid to take my 1993 Sunbird over 70mph, in fear that it will blow up. I wouldn't be surprised if it did, it has once. how does your car get up to 135 mph? the speedometer only goes up to 100 on my car.
