1991 Pontiac Sunbird SE review from North America
"Tough little car, very impressive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front wheel bearings went bad. The transmission is rough shifting out of park. The A/C is out.
General comments?
I can't kill this car. My radiator leaks, but I didn't want to spend the money on repairing it since I was looking for a new car. I have overheated the car several times, but it will not die. I drive this car hard, I have driven it through a foot of water and it just keeps going. I am truly impressed. Great basic transportation! If the looks of this car were better I would probably still drive it daily, now it's my backup vehicle.
